Get on board the Bilpin Apple Pie Trail

12 May 2021

Bilpin’s Apple Pie Trail is fast becoming this autumn’s ‘must do!’ activity. The Trail follows a 15 kilometre stretch of the scenic Bells Line of Road on either side of the township of Bilpin.

Our Visitor Information Centre has made it easy for you to find all 11 outlets serving these delights by mapping them out with their contact details and opening hours available on their website at discoverthehawkesbury.com.au

A map and factsheet on Bilpin's Apple Pie trail can also be found here. You can also pick one up from the Hawkesbury Visitor Information Centre, 328 Hawkesbury Valley Way, Richmond (open 7 days).

There are plenty of adventures along the Trail and it’s not just apples you will take home from a day out at Bilpin. Bilpin's Apple Pie Trail is a great excuse for a day out for all the family, full of fun experiences and opportunities for memories to be made.

Fruit picking

Fruit picking (apples and many other fruit) is seasonally available throughout the year in the area. In autumn you’ll find a range of different produce and picking experiences that include not only apples, but nuts flowers and vegetables. There are also farm animal experiences including the daily alpaca feeding at Madison’s Mountain Retreat (bookings essential) and the Farmyard at TNT Orchard (details here). Check out What’s On for upcoming events and open days or check directly with farms for picking and road side produce stalls. If you do the Trail on a Saturday morning, make sure you visit the produce and crafts at the Bilpin Markets at the Hall.

Apple cider

Bilpin’s resident cider makers offer tastings and are all round great places to visit with large open grounds. Bilpin Cider Co is a great place for a family picnic (order through them or bring your own) or check out their monthly ‘Thirsty Third Sunday’ live music events. Hillbilly Cider has its own Café with woodfired pizzas and it also hosts live music and workshop events.

With the autumn leaves turning into stunning masses of orange, it’s a great time of year to visit Wildwood Garden in Bilpin. The stunning 25 acre garden is open Fridays to Mondays until June 7. Just down Bells Line of Road, you’ll find Blue Mountains Botanic Garden at Mt Tomah and several other gardens at Mt Wilson to explore. Some gardens have admission fees. Find out more about the gardens here.

If you can’t fit it all in one day come back again or make a weekend of it – there’s plenty of accommodation at Bilpin and at nearby Berambing. Search here.
