St Mathews Church

Reviewed By lisajes - Greater Sydney, Australia

A self-guided audio walk called 'Windsor Heritage Walk' on the Cya On The Road app led us here! Loved the historic town and enjoyed the atmosphere very much! If you are visiting Windsor, you should include the walking tour in your itinerary!

This place is like stepping back in time. Fascinating insight into the lives of early European settlers. Beautiful grounds, picnic areas, BBQs, toilets. Cheap entry, free parking. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. If you are visiting Sydney, it's well worth a day trip to the Hawkesbury region.

Bellbird Hill Lookout

Reviewed By CodyMav - Gold Coast, Australia

This lookout is worth the stop along the Bells Line of Road. I visited during the bushfires before this road got closed, and was surprised to find the view had not been affected, winds obviously working in my favour for this delightful view. On site amenities were handy.

Hawkins Lookout

Reviewed By Manickjg

Not far from Sydney as you head towards Wiseman's Ferry. Beautiful view of the Hawkesbury River from this lookout. You get a glimpse of the calm and serene view of Wiseman’s Ferry below. Worth stopping for a few minutes. You don’t need a long stop to enjoy this little lookout. Parking is limited so if carpark is full, you can’t really park on the roadside.

5. Watkins Orchard

Watkins Orchard

Reviewed By SMassalkhi - Sydney, Australia

Planned and went on a family day out today (Saturday 24th August) to go mandarin picking at Watkins family farm, and it did not disappoint. We had an absolute ball, the orchard was had plenty of trees with abundant clusters of ripe and ready to pick mandarins. Each person entering to pick had to pay for a bucket which was super cheap at $12.50 for a large bucket and $7.00 for a small one. My husband and I purchased 2 large buckets and filled them out to the rip, which probably totalled a good 10-15kg of fresh mandarins. On the way out you had the opportunity to feed the sheep, so family friendly. This place is a must for a great weekend trip. Not too far from Sydney, only 1.5hours alway. We would definitely be back. Thanks a lot guys for the lovely memories.
