Rockley, NSW

Rockley might be tiny but it’s big on appeal – think of it as the perfect destination for a Sunday drive.

This quaint country town is full of period 19th-century architecture, such as the 1890 School of Arts Hall, and there are two stunning churches to admire. Browse the gifts and goodies on sale in The Shop Around the Corner, smile at the spot the shop provides to tie up your horse, and go for lunch and a beverage or two at The Rockley Pub, now owned by celebrity chef Matt Moran.

Its menu features grilled meats from the Central Tablelands (like Cowra lamb loin chops), burgers, schnitties topped with a fried egg, and a Farmers Plate grazing board.
