Within minutes of downtown Lithgow, you can walk through historic villages, visit spectacular lookouts, sit beside clear flowing creeks or discover the many beautiful valleys that dominate the region.

Lithgow is best known for its industrial heritage, however, it is also in an exquisitely beautiful area with seven national parks nurturing rare flora and fauna. Included in the collection of natural attractions are the world famous Jenolan Caves, and the massive Wollemi and Blue Mountains National Parks.

We suggest that your first call should be the Lithgow Visitor Information Centre, on the highway on the western side of the city. The friendly staff has a great local knowledge about all the things Lithgow has to offer.

If you are traveling west from Sydney, Lithgow is the gateway to the Central West where you can discover the Bathurst, Orange, and Mudgee regions.

However, before you do, stay a few days and explore the Lithgow region. It’s surprisingly close to Sydney, surprisingly interesting and surprisingly spectacular and you will be made most welcome.
