Penrose walks are a fascinating blend of industrial heritage and natural beauty and have a unique story to tell. Amidst the urban landscape, one of my go-to spots is Hamlins Hill, a former quarry that reflects Penrose’s industrial past. As you stroll through this green oasis, you can’t help but admire the way nature has reclaimed the land, offering a peaceful escape amidst the hustle and bustle.

Penrose’s industrial history and serene walks at Hamlins Hill create a captivating contrast that defines the neighbourhood’s character.
