Exploring Campbell Town
There is a useful brochure - Campbell Town Historic Heart of Tasmania - available at the Visitor Information Centre which lists a total of 42 places of historic interest in and around the town. With over 100 buildings dating from the 19th century, Campbell Town has an excess of historic buildings and deserves to be experienced slowly and deliberately. The best way is to drive down to the park beside the Elizabeth River and slowly walk up the main street admiring and inspecting as you go.
There are five destinations between Hobart and Launceston which are recognised as being outstanding examples of well-preserved Georgian towns: Richmond, Ross, Oatlands, Evandale and Campbell Town. Unlike the other towns, Campbell Town is notable for its wide main street, its elegant English village green in front of The Grange, its handsome convict-built Red Bridge and the impressive coaching inn, The Foxhunters Return. It is a town best experienced by simply spending time and just mooching - up and down the main street, around the Village Green and beside the Elizabeth River.
