The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile-long (4.0km) path through downtownBoston, Massachusetts that passes by 16 locations significant to the history of the United States. Marked largely with brick, it winds between Boston Common to the USS Constitution in Charlestown. Stops along the trail include simple explanatory ground markers, graveyards, notable churches and buildings, and a historic naval frigate. While most of the sites are free or suggest donations, the Old South Meeting House, the Old State House, and the Paul Revere House charge admission. The Freedom Trail is overseen by the City of Boston's Freedom Trail Commission and is supported in part by grants from various nonprofits and foundations, private philanthropy, and Boston National Historical Park.
The Freedom Trail was originally conceived by local journalist William Schofield, who in 1951 suggested building a pedestrian trail to link together important local landmarks. Boston mayor John Hynes decided to put Schofield's idea into action. By 1953, 40,000 people were walking the trail annually.
The Freedom Trail is a 2200km long, 37 000 metres of ups and downs, mountain bike route across South Africa, from Pietermaritzburg in the east to Wellington in the west. This technically challenging trail was started in 2003 and is made up of dirt roads, dirt tracks and cattle tracks featuring impressive geological and scenic diversity. It traverses seven biomes, from the high mountains of Lesotho, to the wide open spaces of the Great Karoo, crossing six mountain ranges, criss-crossing countless valleys, venturing through unspoilt wilderness areas, national parks, private farms and some nature reserves.
The trail is unmarked and requires proficiency in navigation, with riders making use of maps and narratives to follow the route. Accommodation stops are usually 6-8 hours apart, and include guest houses, country hotels, game lodges, nature reserve cottages and farm stays. Most of these stops are fully serviced, allowing riders to travel light.
Coolest times for the trail are the autumn months of March to May, and in the spring from September to early October. The summer months from November to February may be very hot, while winter months from June to August may be very cold, with possible snowfalls at high points along the route.
