Pretoria for Dogs lists a map (indicating the different trail options) for the reserve. The Hadeda trail going over the Faerie Glen Hill offers quite a steep climb, but the panoramic view is worth the effort!

Farerie Glen Nature Reserve might soon acquire some game species which would lead to the banning of dogs in the reserve. To sign the petition in favour of keeping Faerie Glen a game-free and dog-friendly area, click here.
