About 5 minutes’ drive

Leura Mall

Leura’s main street of cafes, restaurants and boutique shops. It’s too far to walk comfortably, so take the car.

Walks and lookouts

Waterfalls and valley views

Leura Cascades and Leura Falls

A family-friendly picnic spot with waterfalls and birdlife. Nearby walks include the Fern Bower circuit, an easy walk downstream to the top of Bridal Veil Falls, and the Prince Henry Cliff Walk heading east towards Gordon Falls lookout.

Parking tip: there’s currently no parking at the picnic area itself. Park near Solitary Restaurant on Cliff Drive, on Merriwa Street or at Carrington Park.

Sublime Point lookout

An easy track with a bridge over a ravine leads to views over the Jamison Valley, with Mount Solitary in front and a different angle on the Three Sisters. Bring water and a layer: the weather changes quickly up here.

Check before you go

Tracks and lookouts sometimes close for maintenance or weather. Check NSW National Parks and Blue Mountains City Council for current alerts.
