There is an argument that if the English village is some kind of high point of charm then Westbury, the most English of all villages in Australia, is certainly a place worthy of visiting and languidly experiencing. Yes, it has everything a clichéd English village has. A village green, lots of tree-lined streets, old courtyards and stables, elegant old inns and so many charming houses the visitor could easily spend a day just wandering around the streets.

Westbury is really a feast of beautiful old buildings. It is lovely beyond belief. There are so many historic homes that the visitor seems to go on an endless voyage of discovery where around every corner there is a new and exciting building. There are so many superb buildings in the town that many of them haven’t even made the National Trust. This is a town with a true excess of delights.

Located on the Bass Highway 34 km from Launceston and 64 km from Devonport, Westbury is a classified historic town.
