Beechworth Historic Park is a sprawling reserve rich in local gold-mining history. Various walking tracks weave through dry forests of strawflowers, eucalyptus and native cypress pines, and over granite outcrops. The Precipice lookout offers a view of the former Reid’s Creek goldfields. You can drive, cycle or walk along the five-kilometre Gorge Scenic Drive – the uninterrupted view of the horizon at the one-kilometre mark is the perfect place to watch the sunset.
