Mount Roland
A 1,234-metre flat-topped mountain behind Sheffield with steep cliffs; from the summit you can look out toward Bass Strait and the peaks in the direction of Cradle Mountain.
Mount Roland is a landmark of northern Tasmania, and its steep rock walls are visible from all over Sheffield and Cams. Several trails lead to the summit. The usual routes start from Gowrie Park or O'Neills Creek, and the round trip takes about 5–6 hours. Once you reach the high plateau at the top, the views open up, and on clear days you can see Cradle Mountain and the north coast. You don't have to climb to enjoy it: the mountain can be admired from the viewpoint in Sheffield or from Gowrie Park at its base.
