Some great short and medium length day walks. Recommend Ryde Falls highly.

Our favorite local trail is Ryde Falls. This is in the Mount Oxford trail network. The trails are well signposted and easy to follow. (For Ryde Falls, at the very beginning, you’ll want to stay to the left and not cross the river.) Ryde Falls is a gorgeous three-tiered waterfall. This track is about 7k one way, and though there is one steep section, most of the walk is quite gentle and rolling. There are lovely views of Mount Oxford and the gorgeous bush in the canyons. It usually takes us about 4.5 to 5 hours to complete this walk. We love to take our grannies on this one! To get to the trail network, head for Coopers Creek, about 10 minutes away. Take the main road through Oxford center and turn right on Woodside Road. Follow this until you see signs for Mount Oxford, and turn right on Mountain Road. This is a dirt road. There is ample parking at the end of the road. Mount Oxford is a substantial mountain. This track is very very steep (unrelenting) but offers amazing views once you get above the treeline. Truly, the views are spectacular, as Mount Oxford is set apart from other local mountains. This track usually takes at least 6 hours. Be prepared for very cold, biting wind at the top, and make sure that the weather is forecast to be fine all day. The weather changes incredibly quickly in Canterbury and this would not be a good place to get caught out.
