Tamar Valley Wine Route
Tamar Valley’s wine trail is renown for its famous pinot noirs, rieslings and chardonnays and Yorktown Manor is right in the middle of it! Most wineries offer free tastings so if you like a drop (or two) you’ve come to the right place. It’s worth it for the scenic drive alone.

Beaconsfield – historic gold mining town
Well known for its historic gold mine (especially after a tragic mine collapse in 2006), ‘Beaky’ (as the locals call it) also has plenty more to offer. There’s classic old pubs, bakeries and shops, and at the petrol station, they still put petrol in for you!
