Sightseeing
The Beechworth Gorge is a popular walking, bike riding and driving loop with views to the Woolshed Valley and across the township of Beechworth.
The landscape has large granite outcrops, native forest, magnificent rockpools and cascades that are perfect for a relaxed picnic.
There are two access points. For the longer route (5km or 7km is you are walking from the Post Office) start on Gorge Road, which is on the left as you head out of town towards Wodonga (just past the Golden Heritage Motel). For walkers it will take you around 1.5 to 2 hours with plenty of time to take in the scenery. Alternatively you can walk down Camp Street and start at the Powder Magazine for a shorter stroll (3km).
The walk follows a one-way road that loops through the Gorge and brings you back out near the Newtown Bridge on the Wangaratta Road. It is then a short walk back into Beechworth, for a coffee and cake or locally brewed beer to refresh and relax.
