5.0 based on 4 reviews
Oak Lodge at 18 Bridge Street, Richmond is a highly regarded Georgian house in largely original condition, owned by the National Trust and run as a local museum by Coal River Valley Historical Society volunteers.

We saw so many National Trust properties in Tasmania and this may have been my favourite. That's mainly because it's so original and untouched, and is such a quirky house built on many different floors, it's like a tardis. They have carefully preserved everything including the fascinating doctor's surgery it was once used as, and the school. The history of the house is amazing. I really loved it :)

The strawberries are really tasty and normally really huge. The ice cream is fantastic and the coffee tasty. Theres often other tasty fruit on offer from other local farms. Its nice to be able to pick your own strawberries and know that they are fresh.

We visited the Shot Tower cafe yesterday for morning tea. The last time was 17 years ago. Scones were just as good as we remembered! Try the date scones...they are the best ........but they do have other food too. Lovely staff in cafe and Shot Tower shop. If weather is good, there is pretty garden to sit in.

7. Mount Nelson Lookout

Reviewed By HappyTravellersRWe - Melbourne, Australia
We had perfect weather for our late morning visit - clear air, sunny and no wind - could really see for miles! Great for photography. Fabulous views down the Derwent and over Hobart. Some say better than Mt Wellington as closer and lower at 340m elevation. We took bus No.347 from the CBD and enjoyed the views as passengers en route. Had nice coffees at the cafe, friendly barister and fabulous views from our outside table. Good, informative signage and photos of the history of the signals station. If the weather is perfect and you can spare an extra hour or so, stay for lunch and continue to enjoy the million dollar views, like we did! PS an alternative, excellent view point close to the CBD is the Rosny Park Lookout.

Absolutely beautiful town, parks, gardens, trees (duck - lots of ducks). Bridge lends itself to some stunning photo opportunities & the shops are all worth a visit.

At $10 each for adults for this self guided tour, this was an enjoyable and innovative trip. You can stay for a little or as long as you like. Information about the prison is displayed on boards throughout the prison. It’s a small but interesting place to visit.
10. St John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church

Reviewed By Old-Aus-Academic - Hobart, Australia
This church is beautiful inside and out, and is well worth a visit. The tranquility inside it is on its own worth the visit. As the oldest Catholic church still in service, it has a long history and this seems to emanate from every wall, window and pew. Of particular note is the bespoke input to this little colonial church by the renowned English gothic revivalist architect and designer, Augustus W. N. Pugin. He is most famous for designing the British Houses of Parliament and Big Ben (check him out on a search engine). St John's is one of three Pugin Tasmanian churches, the others in Oatlands and Colebrook.
