Stirling 

Stirling is one of the main towns in the region, with a good selection of shops, cafes and facilities. European flora and 19th century architecture combine to make Stirling one of Adelaide's most sought after residential areas. Home to some of South Australia’s most beautiful homes, Stirling became popular with Adelaide’s wealthy residents, who built summer houses to escape the heat of the plains in the late nineteenth century. A walk through Stirling will reveal many of these homes, including some that have been converted to bed and breakfast accommodation. The tree-lined main street, a riot of colour in both spring and autumn, has a good collection of cafes, restaurants and shops. Many of the magnificent ‘English’ gardens are open to visitors via the Open Garden Scheme.

It is by-passed by the South Eastern Freeway ensuring it remains a delightful, elegant Hills village brimming with charm.

The area is growing as a wine-producing region, with cool climate varieties.
