The Neighborhood:
Richmond is one of Tasmania's most popular visitor destinations, showcasing Tasmanian colonial heritage at every turn. Heritage-listed buildings and features are found on almost every street, so that even a casual evening stroll offers insights into early colonial life.
Richmond Village is situated in the Coal River Valley, one of Australia's first food bowls supplying new settlers in Tasmania. Agricultural enterprises continue to this day, supplying local chefs and cooks with a abundance of meats, berries, stone-fruit, vegetables, chocolate, honey and dairy products to accompany the region's famous wines, ciders and beers.
Deciding whether it’s a long Sunday lunch or a cosy fireside dinner, options abound. Relax whilst someone else cooks for you, pack your own picnic and head down to the Village Green, or perhaps a BBQ at home the cottage
