 Easily accessible from Sydney's centre and located at the foothills of the breathtaking Blue Mountains, Penrith has plenty to offer its visitors. It has developed a reputation as an area specialising in exciting outdoor adventure activities, including white water rafting at the Sydney International Regatta Centre.
Penrith is blessed with a variety of natural beauty. From the awe-inspiring vantage point of The Rock Lookout, watch the Nepean River crawl through a bush-clad gorge that's been carved from sandstone over time. Gain an intimate experience of the inspiring Nepean Gorge by hiring a canoe or relaxing on the historic Nepean Belle Paddlewheeler. The Blue Mountains National Park spreads to a hazy horizon and to the north, 700 hectares of lakes offer a vast recreation area.
A great way to discover the region is to go on the Penrith Valley Heritage Drive, an informative self-guided tour of historic sites and houses.
