Devonport, Port Sorell, Latrobe, Railton, Sheffield, Wilmot, Cradle Valley, Ulverstone, Penguin & Gunns Plains

We invite you to spend some time exploring this magnificent region – Devonport & Cradle Country.

Explore spectacular beaches where the pristine waters of Bass Strait meet our shores or weave your way through the rich farmlands enjoying picture perfect patchwork paddocks and spectacular mountain backdrops. Discover our heritage through attractions which have painstakingly preserved the past. Climb a mountain, seek out a waterfall, drop a line in and catch an elusive trout or spy on native animals feeding in their natural habitat – there’s something for everyone in Cradle Country.

And then after all that you can just sit back, relax and breathe in the fresh Tasmanian air while enjoying superb cuisine prepared from local produce served with delicious Tasmanian beers and wines.
