Rippon Lea Estate Gardens

Rippon Lea Estate is a heritage-listed property managed by the National Trust of Australia. The estate's 14 acres of gardens are a stunning example of Victorian landscape design. They feature vast, sweeping lawns, a large ornamental lake, a magnificent iron-framed fernery, an orchard, and a historic lookout tower. Visitors can wander the many paths, explore the gardens, and enjoy a picnic on the lawns. The grand Romanesque-style mansion is also open for tours. An admission fee is required to enter the estate and gardens. To protect the heritage landscape, dogs are not permitted.
