Cherry Hill: Farm History and Nature Trails

Cherry Hill combines historic farm sites with outdoor activities. Barclay Farmstead and Croft Farm are both listed on historic registers; the area also has nature-interpreted trails and opportunities for walks or bike rides. You can tailor your trip to your interests, whether they lie especially in local history, nature, or physical activity.

Discover Farm History

Barclay Farmstead is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the New Jersey Register of Historic Places. Visitors can take tours of the farmhouse. If you are interested in a place’s history, you can make this visit a cultural highlight of your trip. Barclay Farmstead also has nature-interpreted trails where visitors can walk. This gives you two distinct ways to experience the site: a guided tour of the farmhouse and time on trails with nature interpretation.

Croft Farm is also listed on both registers and is a public park in Cherry Hill. This gives you another point of interest when planning your trip: Croft Farm combines the character of a park with a historic designation. Together with Barclay Farmstead, it makes local history a tangible part of Cherry Hill, without limiting you to just one kind of visit.

Trails and Outdoor Activities

Greenwald Park has a 1.8-mile Watchable Wildlife Trail. Its length makes it easy to include as a distinct part of your day’s plans. Its name refers to watching wildlife, making it an option for travelers interested in nature. Another park offering is for cyclists: the 1.2-mile bike path runs from Grove Street to Kings Highway. These are different activities and should be considered separately when planning: one is called a Wildlife Trail, while the other is a bike path with specified starting and ending points.

The main entrance to the Bunker Hill Trails is at the intersection of Bobwhite Drive and Blue Jay Lane. This specific landmark can help you locate the entrance as you prepare for your visit. It adds another way to spend time outdoors, without implying that all the trails mentioned form a single connected route.

Choose the Right Focus for Your Trip

If you’re looking for a vacation rental in Cherry Hill, first consider which experiences you want to shape your stay. The distances of 1.8 and 1.2 miles refer to those specific trails; they do not indicate how long a visit takes.
