WHETHER you are seeking adventure, history or simply tranquillity, Beechworth can satisfy all of these seemingly unrelated pursuits ... and it's a perfect base if you want to day trip to Wangaratta or up to the mountains to enjoy some spring flowers.

This scenic postcard township is filled with lush trees and gardens, boutique stores, a world–famous bakery and restaurants and cafés.

The mountain bike trails and walks offer spectacular views and takes you through the gold rush era and Kelly Gang country.

The Historic and Cultural precinct in the heart of the town offers more than 30 National Trust listed buildings so walking the streets of Beechworth is like literally stepping back in time.

the Beechworth Farmers' Market is held on the first Saturday of every month in the grounds of Christ Church on the Hill in Ford Street and provides a tasting plate of what's available in the region.

With fresh local fruit and vegetables, bread, locally reared meats, cheeses and poultry, as well as seedlings, flowers and herbs on offer, the market is a chance to meet the growers and get to know the surrounding area from paddock to plate.

Take a short walk, ride or drive through granite outcrops to rock pools and the cascading waterfalls of the Beechworth Gorge or Woolshed Falls where you can take in the spectacular views of the Woolshed Valley.

The Mt Pilot National Park should also be on your 'must see' list with walking trails taking you up to look over the valley below.
