Top 5 things to do in Beechworth in Autumn
We blinked and here we are - hello Autumn! Warm days, cool evenings - Autumn is one our favourite times of year here in Beechworth, and would be one of the best times to visit our beautiful home town. With Easter holidays just around the corner, we've compiled our favourite things to see and do.
Woolshed Falls
Just a short 9km drive from Beechworth, the Woolshed Falls are a must do on your next trip to Beechworth. Thanks to the very persistent rain over summer, the falls are particularly full and spectacular. If you’re up for a bit more of an action packed adventure, we recommend the walk down from Beechworth via the Gorge. Scrambling down granite descents, wandering by old gold mining camps, along side farming land, the Woolshed Valley holds a very important part in Beechworth Honey’s history. Organise a car for your return, or be warned the climb back up can get a little tough.

Murray to Mountains Rail Trail
Ding ding! The Murray to Mountains Rail Trail is a network of sealed cycling trails, that weave through some of the most stunning and iconic Aussie scenery in and around Beechworth. The decommissioned rail lines were once used to transport the bounty from the gold rush days to the big smoke. Take a short spin through town, or buckle up for a longer ride to neighbouring Yackandandah or Everton. Just remember, what goes down, must come back up!
