Welcome to the Southern Ridges! The Ridges are a series of seven connected hill and coastal parks that span the length of Singapore’s south-western coastline. The full length of the hike from end-to-end is about 9 kilometres or about 3 – 5 hours walking time. Beginning with a hike up to 
Mount Faber Park, the path winds through Telok Blangah Hill Park before either turning south to Labrador Park via the Alexandra Floral Trail and Berlayer Creek Boardwalk, or continuing west to HortPark. After that, the route rises to cut across Kent Ridge Park and NUS Kent Ridge Campus before descending through Clementi Woods to West Coast Park.
The Southern Ridges can be traversed on foot or on bike, and are suitable for all ages and abilities. These parks feature both natural and urban beauty spots – ranging from serene forest walks through regenerating secondary forests to unique architectural gems. Most sections of the Southern Ridges are open 24 hours every day, except for HortPark which is open from 6 am – 11 pm daily.
This series of caches will highlight the various attractions you can find along the ridges, and help you learn more about these places and locales. Bring your family and camera along, and enjoy the hike through a scenic park of the island. We hope you will enjoy the walk as much as we did!
Stage 4: Faber Point
One of the oldest parks in Singapore, Mount Faber Park is a popular tourist destination and scenic park where one can unwind away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Take a cable car from Mount Faber to Sentosa Island or hike up the Marang Trail from Harbourfront MRT Station to enjoy the stunning view of the city from above. You can also take in the views at one of the many lookout points that are situated at various sides of the ridge for a panoramic view of the southern part of Singapore and the southern islands. Delve into our nation’s heritage at Faber Point, the highest point in the park, where a mural wall depicts scenes of local historical events. A short walk to the summit will also bring you to one of the five official Merlion statues, a local icon gazing out over a view of Keppel Harbour.
You find this cache on the way to the Henderson Waves from Faber Point. Look out for any passing traffic when you’re crossing the road, and stay safe!
