Approximately one hours drive north west of Sydney City lies the charming Hawkesbury Valley. The country atmosphere at the historic towns of Windsor, Richmond and St Albans, and the quaint rural settlements of Kurrajong, Portland, Pittown, Colo & Wiseman’s Ferry, make up this picturesque area.
Visit the numerous antique and craft stalls, or spend time talking with a local artist at one of the boutique galleries.
The western end of the Hawkesbury River forms a peaceful boundary for the Sydney region, winding its way through the valley, dotted with charming hideaways and B&Bs for that relaxing weekend away. Join a tour of the nearby glow warm caves, or for the more adventurous try abseiling or canyoning with one of the local tour operators.
Over 15 percent of New South Wales fruit and vegetables are grown in the area. Stop and enjoy a wine at a historic winery, try gourmet goats cheese made locally, or visit one of the numerous orchards and pick your own fresh fruit to take home with you.
