Stockton Cycleway & Shipwreck Walk

Google Street View

There’s a very pleasant run along the Hunter River in Stockton, a suburb of Newcastle just across from Nobbys Beach. A paved multi-use trail runs along the water, featuring nice views. Pro Tip: You can drive to Stockton, or, more fun, take the ferry from Queens Wharf in central Newcastle.
