Bennet's Hill

The trail gently winds along the hillside of Bennets Hill and opens up along the way. At the initial leg, it offers distance views over Ap Lei Chau and Wong Chuk Hang. Further ahead, the full view over Deep Water Bay, Shouson Hill and Brick Hill of Ocean Park could be seen. In the blue sky, the green hills look more bright and beautiful.

Lady Clementi's Ride

At the junction by the pavilion, follow the path of Lady Clementi's Ride on the right according to the signpost to Wai Chai Gap. It winds along the hillside gently uphill and mostly cuts through the sylvan terrain. Along the way, it also crosses several old stone bridges and the streams. In the peaceful atmosphere, stepping on the leaves covering the ground, and sometimes hearing murmur of the brooks and bird sound seem to be hugged by the nature. Near the final leg of the path, you could see the remnant of a deserted battery. After joining Aberdeen Reservoir Road and going ahead, it soon comes to Wan Chai Gap.
