Megalong Valley

A pastoral valley beneath the cliffs on the western side of Katoomba, where you can go horse riding, enjoy scones at a tearoom and visit local wineries, and see the other side of the Blue Mountains cliffs.

Megalong Valley is about 15 minutes' drive down a winding mountain road from Blackheath. The valley is made up of pastures, eucalyptus forest and streams, with towering sandstone cliffs rising overhead. Popular activities include horse riding at local stables (1–3 hours, booking required), scones with cream at the Megalong Valley Tearooms, wine tasting and farm stays. There is no public transport, so you'll need to drive or join a tour.
