Irvine Valley Trails 2025

1. Introduction

Sections of the Irvine Valley Trails were upgraded in 2023 and we are keen to find out if these improvements have changed the amount of people using the path and the ways in which they are being used. A map showing the paths and more information can be found here

If you are a user of the paths that form part of the Irvine Valley Trails, we would be grateful if you could spare a few moments to complete a short survey and give us your feedback.
