About this place
At the southernmost peak of the Torndirrup Peninsula is Peak Head, a bluff of rounded cliffs with spectacular ocean views.
Stony Hill Heritage Tail is a 500m walk providing a scenic circuit with 360 degree views of Torndirrup National Park and the Albany area. Visitors can also explore this area by taking a track that branches off the Stony Hill road to the left, just before the car park. This track will take you to the start of the Peak Head walk trail.
The Stony Hill to Peak Head walk takes approximately 2.5 hours return. Some rock scrambling is required to reach the summit. Be aware that rock climbers may be on the cliffs below.
Safety information
Plan when to visit. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!
