YEW POINT AT HODSON BAY IS A PRIVATE TERRAIN
MANAGED BY HODSON BAY GROUP
Access is strictly restricted to individuals who have completed the registration process and received their access cards from the Reception Desk at the Hodson Bay Leisure Centre Reception.
We have created a looped trail, which includes some lakeshore access and a fairy trail for children.
The work to date including maintenance of the grounds and ensuring the native indigenous woodland and wildlife species are preserved and protected has been funded by The Hodson Bay Group.
Due to the special nature of this area, we have to manage numbers on the walkway at any one time.
As this is a lakeshore trail, there are plenty of our flying friends about, if you don’t want too much company at certain times of year, insect repelant can be helpful.
