Visit Penrith Valley
Penrith Valley, with its stunning array of river, mountains and lakes, is just a 55 minute drive from the centre of Sydney and offers a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Make the most of your visit to the area and explore pockets of unspoiled bushland, national park, as well as the many treasured historic landmarks scattered throughout the region. Enjoy the area’s lively arts scene by visiting its many unique museums and art galleries or, for a change of pace, get your adrenalin pumping with a whitewater adventure at Penrith’s Whitewater Stadium.
The eastern escarpment of the spectacular Blue Mountains plateau begins less than 5kms west of Penrith and extends over a quarter of a million hectares of native bushland. The spectacular gorge can be viewed from the deck of the Nepean Belle Paddlewheeler or explored at your own pace on foot and should not be missed.
Penrith is centrally located for most day-trippers and offers quick road and rail access. For the overnight or short break visitor there is a wide range of accommodation on offer to suit every need and budget, ranging from family cabins to rural retreat cottages. The region has warm summers and mild winters, all levels of education, excellent health and community services, affordable housing and a growing employment base, making it an ideal place to live, work, visit, invest, learn or play.
