About Wentworth Falls
Where to stay in Wentworth Falls
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Katoomba pulls most of the traffic. Wentworth Falls keeps a quieter register than Leura and Katoomba just west of it, while still holding the walks, the lookouts and the facilities that bring people up into the Blue Mountains. Rooms here answer to the Great Western Highway and to Wentworth Falls railway station, which puts the Main Western line within walking distance of arrivals from Sydney.
Yester Grange is the one heritage name attached to the town itself.
About Wentworth Falls
What are the main landmarks in Wentworth Falls?
Yester Grange is the named landmark. The record for Wentworth Falls attaches a single heritage building to the town, which leaves the walks, the lookouts and the views of the Blue Mountains World Heritage National Park to carry what visitors come up here to see. Katoomba and Leura hold the bigger tourist centres, a short run west along the Great Western Highway.
Beyond Yester Grange, the interest is landscape rather than buildings.
What is the history of Wentworth Falls?
Nothing in the sources dates Wentworth Falls. What the record fixes is position rather than chronology: a town in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, on the Great Western Highway, with Wentworth Falls railway station on the Main Western line. A 2016 census count is the one dated figure the entry supplies for the town.
Yester Grange stands as the one recorded landmark, inside a town that the Blue Mountains World Heritage National Park holds within its boundary.
Where is Wentworth Falls?
Wentworth Falls occupies high ground in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, on the Great Western Highway east of Katoomba and Leura.
