Cameron Highlands is NOT a small place.
On hotel or promotional brochure maps, the places of interest are drawn to be very close together.
However, do note that these are not drawn to scale!
(Map taken from Equatorial Hotel. A little worn-out, but still (I hope) somewhat readable)
If you're staying at Equatorial Hotel, the furthest you can reasonably walk to is probably the Honey Bee Farm (item 4, left of hotel on the map) and the vegetable stalls (item 2, right of Hotel on map).
Vegetable Stalls
(I told you it was dangerous to walk along the roads ;) )

Honey Bee Farm (Ee Feng Gu Apiary)
Entrance free =)
Butterfly Farm
The main attraction is of course the butterfly farm, though why butterflies are being farmed, we have no idea..
But the farm has other creepy crawlies as well!
(Scorpions!!)
If You Insist in Walking
If you insist on walking, do note that Cameron Highlands roads are not pedestrian-friendly, and you'll be walking along the road shoulders, which is made worse by the many tour buses and cars that like to park along the road shoulders as well. There are also no traffic lights, so you'll have to jaywalk to cross the roads. More importantly, it can get pretty dark at night, so do wear light colours, or even better, carry a strong flashlight!
I don't have the distances, but I do know that the distance from Equatorial to Brinchang town is 4km; from Brinchang to Tanah Rata is another 5km.
(Why did the chicken cross the road???)
