Villarett Gardens

789 Railton Road, Moltema TAS 7304

Experience Villarett Gardens at Moltema, near Elizabeth Town in Tasmania's north. It is the result of the overwhelming passion of two dedicated gardeners. Over the last 31 years Graeme and Linda Chugg have created this sophisticated, stylish contemporary garden. Beginning a garden on the side of a hill with just a few mature holly, beech and oak trees, they have, with skill, hard work and devotion developed a garden of rare beauty. The magnificent use of hedges and innovative planting combined with modern sculpture has created something rarely seen in Tasmania, a garden where architectural space is used to striking effect. Despite the physical and mental demands of running a highly successful restaurant, they keep the garden to a degree of manicured perfection that is truly amazing. Being a skilled hedge trimmer, Linda is one of a rare breed of women, trimming the hedges is her way of relaxing after a hectic days work. Graeme has created all the metal sculptures himself over the last 10 years, which add a new dimension to an already inspired setting. Villaret Gardens well deserves its reputation as one of Tasmania's iconic gardens. Ideal to visit for a delicious meal, function, wedding or stay the night in their delightful Guest Cottage

Stoodley Forest Walk and Arboretum

Road, Stoodley TAS 7306
Easy: 1 hour loop A walk through an arboretum established by the early forestry industry which partly follows the Railton-Roland train line which closed in 1957 and had a station at Stoodley. It is also the site of one of the region’s first sawmills – built in 1854 on nearby Red Water Creek. The original wooden water trough, from the early 1900’s, was a regular stopping place for horses and riders and for traction engines to top up their boilers. Access is via the B14, 5.5km south of Railton or 5km east of Sheffield....

Sykes Sanctuary

Sunnyside Road, Railton TAS 7305
English World War 1 engineer Norman Sykes bought 15 hectares of land near Railton to get away from people and because he felt nature was good for the soul. While he was an eccentric hermit, he was famous in Railton as he was often seen riding his bicycle to town for supplies. Suddenly, in 1977, he loaded all his belongings into a pram, bequeathed his land to the Kentish Council to keep in trust for all the people of Railton and visitors to enjoy, then moved to Melbourne, never to be seen by Railton residents again. Mr Sykes left his property for nature conservation and so people could enjoy the peace, tranquility and serenity. On the site, his son, Ian, constructed two fascinating monuments with mathematical equations said to explain the origins of the universe and spirituality, using ancient theories from Pythagoras, Confucius, the Sumerian Oannes, the Indian Kapila, the Egyptian Imhotep, the Chinese Fu Shi, and spiritual leader Buddha. Today Sykes Sanctuary is a spiritual and intriguing site where visitors can quietly sit and listen to birdsong, see wildlife in their natural environs and reflect on life, the Universe and everything....
