read moreThe Penrith Heritage Walk has been launched by Penrith City Council inviting the community to step into the City’s rich past and discover, at their own pace, the people, places and open spaces that have helped shaped Penrith.
Walkers are encouraged to take their time and explore attractions along the way, like the Museum of Fire, Arms of Australia Inn and the Penrith Regional Gallery as well as cafés, the river and parks – enjoying both Penrith’s past and present.
Visitors and locals can simply head to the Visit Penrith website to get the free Penrith Heritage Walk mobile-friendly interactive map.
Penrith Mayor Tricia Hitchen said the walk would appeal to a wide range of people noting “while the walk has been designed to promote our City to a wider audience and attract more visitors, it’s also a great way for our community to learn more about familiar landmarks.
“Council is committed to celebrating and protecting Penrith’s heritage buildings and sites and passionate about sharing what we most love about our City. The Penrith Heritage Walk shines a light on our fascinating past.”
Starting at historic Penrith Train Station, the 11-kilometre trail leads walkers to 21 points of interest, through Thornton and along the river to its end point at the state significant Emu Plains Train Station.
At each stop, walkers are provided with interesting information on the site, the people who lived or worked there and the influence they had on the growth of the City.
“One of the best things about the Penrith Heritage Walk is that it’s quite flexible,” Mayor Hitchen said. “You can complete the whole walk in one day or break it into sections to suit your level of fitness and time available.
“The Penrith Heritage Walk is just the start. We plan to create more themed walks through other parts of our City, including St Marys, as they are a great way to discover and enjoy something new.”
