Start at the Old Stone House on Shalamar Drive. Head down the steps and around the house into the cul de sac, turning left onto Worsleys Road.
Enter the wetlands just past the dam gate and join the old road that was the main entry to the valley before the stormwater retention facility and Cashmere Estate subdivision were constructed. Hang a left to meander around a couple of ponds before continuing on around the edge of the wetlands, detouring around another pond on the way. Turn right near the entrance to the Adventure Park onto the paved footpath.
At the roundabout duck back into the wetlands. From here you're meandering around the trails, with brief stretches on the old access road and further detours around two more ponds. Jump back onto the Worsleys Rd footpath briefly before nipping back into the wetlands for one last bit of gravel trail.
Cross the road near the dam gates where you came in and turn left along the road to join the Cashmere Stream Esplanade path, which winds around behind the houses.
Cross the road again and turn left before joining the streamside path which runs through a pretty woodland. This joins Cashmere Road - turn right, cross the bridge and right again into Shalamar Drive and back to the Old Stone House.
There is active ecological restoration underway in the wetlands and there is also cultural history along the route.
