The Wollombi valley is a great base for short bushwalks or long treks in the Hunter Valley. Bordered by Yengo National Park and the Watagan State Forest/National Park, a range of walks is available.
Numerous tracks take advantage of the beauty of the Watagans. Maps with more walking options are available at the General Store, and topographical maps are available at Wollombi Real Estate.
