 Welcome to a place that's different - diverse - a place endowed with an astonishing array of nature's gifts as well as attractions and experiences to suit all tastes, all ages.
Glen Innes is known as Celtic Country.The first settlers were predominantly Scots and the town is the site of Australia's only official monument, The Australian Standing Stones, dedicated to the nation's Celtic pioneers and venue for the annual Australian Celtic Festival.
It’s located 1062 metres in the beautiful New England Tablelands and is famous for its distinctive seasons: golden autumns, air-conditioned summers, breathtaking springs, log-fire winters - and occasionally, snow.
It’s the key location to reach a magnificent and diverse network of national parks and nature reserves - including World Heritage listed Gibraltar Range and Washpool National Parks.
Steeped in history: the first settlers arrived in 1838, the main street and its more than 30 heritage-listed buildings reflecting colonial charm.
