In and around our township of Blackheath are some of the most spectacular views in the Blue Mountains, including those over the Grose Valley from Evans Lookout and Govetts Leap Lookout and Pulpit Rock in the east.
On the western side of Blackheath are the lesser-known lookouts - Hargraves Lookout and Mount Blackheath Lookout with extensive views over the Megalong and Kanimbla Valleys. From Evans Lookout you can take the Grand Canyon Walk - a historically important and beautiful walking track constructed over 100 years ago, and opened with great celebration in 1907. There are many walking tracks around the edges of the Grose Valley, including the Cliff Top Track between Evans Lookout, Govetts Leap Lookout and Pulpit Rock. Other walking tracks can be found in both Megalong Valley and Centennial Glen, Kanimbla Valley.
This self guided walk to the magnificent Walls Cave starts just outside our front entrance and is a must for all guests staying at Federation Gardens and Possums Hideaway. The track descends into a gorge and to a rock cutting above a shallow pool then continues on to a rock amphitheatre. It is thought that Walls Cave was occupied by Aboriginals at least 12,000 years ago. The walk takes about an hour round trip.
