This Kentish town has magnificent murals, dairy farms, and views of Cradle Mountain.
Just a 30-minute drive south of Devonport, the small town of Sheffield is the main hub of the Kentish region. Once known for dairy farming, it’s now become famous for its magnificent collection of murals, which includes more than 140 artworks and an annual mural-painting festival. The Town of Murals is also a popular destination for hikers and outdoor adventurers needing a Sheffield camping spot. Whether you’re seeking a quiet campsite by the lakeside or a fully serviced campground, Sheffield campsites are available in addition to wilderness cabins and a holiday park with full amenities. Once settled, tackle the 1,234-metre Mount Roland and you’ll be rewarded with views over Cradle Mountain, or hit nearby Lake Barrington for canoeing, waterskiing, and fishing. Even better—just an hour’s drive south is Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, one of Tasmania’s most visited attractions.
