Warren Blackwood Stock Route

The Warren Blackwood Stock Route (WBSR) is a 345km bridle trail based on the historic stock droving routes of the original farming families of the South West. The Stock Route stretches from the coast at Nannup to Broke Inlet near Walpole and connects a number of towns and camping destinations including Bridgetown, Manjimup, Quinninup, Shannon and Willow Springs.

The WBSR is listed on the Experience Nannup app under 'Walking and Horse Trails'. The whole Stock Route map is accessible on the app, along with information about each camp site. Handy external links are also available to check for trail closures, bushfires and prescribed burns as well as other tips on how to stay safe. 

The WBSR is designed to be completed in smaller or larger sections and there are eight equine friendly campsites dotted along the route at intervals of between 15km and 46 km, and sections of self-reliant trail to explore toward the coast.  

The trail meanders through some of the most picturesque countryside the Southern Forests and Valleys region has to offer. Through Karri and Jarrah forests to farmland and the coast, the trail provides an opportunity for trail enthusiasts to experience the historic footsteps of the pioneer farming families that moved cattle to the coastal South West.
