I live on Old Peak Rd and have been trying to find the famous Bowen Road so I could run somewhere a little flatter than the direct path up the Peak. Where is it? Can anyone tell me how to get there from Old Peak and May Rd?
Thanks!

It is near where Cotton Tree Drive and Robinson Road come together - head in the direction of the Peak just past where the tram goes under you. The entrance to Bowen Road is almost oppostite Brewin Path. The road runs along the contour of the hill from there behind Wan Chai and through to the Wai Nung Chung Gap.

Or, get public transport to Cannosa Hospital at the edge of Happy Valley. That is the other end of Bowen Road - quite a long jog to get back to Mid-Levels from there (you'll know where you are eventually if yuo just keep going straight, even when you get to a proper road with cars.

I just re-read the first reply - that is somewhat misleading - Robinson Road and Cotton Tree Drive do not intersect. Essentially you go up Cotton Tree Drive, instead of going right at the top towards Old Peak road (and the rest of mid-levels) yuo go left towards the Peak and the first road running off to the left is Bowen Road

HkScot - do you mean the Adventist Hospital?
As HkScot said, the other end might be a good way to start. If you get off the bus (no's 6 66 or 15) at the Stubbs Rd / Wong Nei Chung Gap Rd roundabout, you are there. I think it is about 4k back to Midlevels.

From May Road after you pass Wellcome on the left hand side there are some steps going down to the left and a path, this is Brewin Path (although I don't think it says so at the top end), when you get to the bottom you are on Magazine Gap Road, cross the road and you will see Tramway Path, don't go down there but the next left is the Mothers Choice mentioned above and the start of Bowen Road.

MrsC - I get all the hospitals confused - yes - I mean adventist!

Thank you all for the directions. I am going to try them out tomorrow morning. GinnyMc I did go the way you described, got to the tram and then looked around and couldn't see the Rd. Now I have a better idea of where it is.
Thanks!
