Blue Mountains Walks: The River Walk at Hartley Historic Site
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!
This walk is a pleasant addition to a visit to Hartley. The newly constructed track and boardwalk takes you down to the River Lett and an extension down the old highway to an old bridge turns your outing into a round trip taking about 45 minutes. The only downside is the sound of modern traffic.

Historic Hartley Village - New South Wales
Hartley was formerly a judicial and administrative centre that had a busy courthouse.
The courthouse was built in 1837 and was designed by prominent New South Wales Colonial Architect Mortimer Lewis. The courthouse, which operated for over fifty years, dealt with a constant stream of robbers, thieves and convicts.
Although Hartley fell into disuse, it survived as a perfectly preserved village that is a superb example of 19th century architecture.
Because of its heritage value, it is now preserved as a historic site, administered by the National Parks and Wildlife Service of New South Wales.
