Finding the estate

Woolmers Estate is near Longford in Tasmania’s Northern Midlands, about 20 minutes’ drive from Launceston and less than 5 minutes off the Heritage Highway.

• By car: about 20 minutes from Launceston and 15 minutes from Launceston Airport; parking at the estate is free.
• On foot from Brickendon: the 2.8 km Convict Farm Walk links the two estates and takes about 50 minutes one way.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Accessible toilets at the Nigel Peck Centre.
• The Rose Garden, with its thousands of roses.
• Free parking, including space for caravans and motorhomes.
• The Rose Garden Café and the Servants Kitchen for refreshments.

Bring layers, water and sun protection: much of the visit is outdoors. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

The Visitor Information Centre, the Nigel Peck Centre and the Rose Garden are wheelchair accessible, but not all heritage buildings and paths are. The guided buggy tour is the most accessible way to see the whole estate; the Convict Farm Walk is not suitable for wheelchairs.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask estate staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the estate thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Leave historic buildings and objects untouched; dogs are welcome on a lead in the grounds but not inside the homestead or the Nigel Peck Centre.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care helps protect the estate and its atmosphere for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The Rose Garden Café serves breakfast and lunch from 08:00 to 16:00, and the Servants Kitchen offers Devonshire teas and light lunches.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Bring water with you if you plan to walk to Brickendon.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: start at the Visitor Information Centre and follow your ticket’s instructions.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, layers and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: the estate suggests a full day, or two days to see both Woolmers and Brickendon at an easy pace.
