Crawley Preserve


In Richmond, RI down a dirt drive off Glen Rock Road lies 100 acres of preserved land called Crawley Preserve. The land was donated to The Richmond Rural Preservation Land Trust in the early 2000’s by the Crawley family. It is a fun place to walk or hike with the family or a dog.

There are 4 trails Crawley, Box Turtle, Brook and Red Fox Trail. The trails range from 4 feet wide to single walking paths. The footing is packed earth, gravel, grasses and some rocks. The trail does climb to 200 feet.

The longest hike is 2 miles. It is a combination of Brook Trail and Crawley Trail.

The Richmond Rural Preservation Land Trust manages the preserve and has built 2 bridges to go over a small stream that weaves through the preserve.
