Brinktop Reserve & Richmond Park Track
Getting There
Park at the riverside carpark off Bathurst Street (below the gaol) and follow the path along the Coal River to the Richmond Bridge. Go up to the road level and cross the bridge and walk east along Wellington Street past historic homes until the gravel track starts at Morgan Street.
The track winds through a corridor of trees adjacent to Brinktop Road. The track follows the northern boundary of Richmond Park, one of the oldest colonial properties in Australia dating from 1810s. It climbs gently towards Brinktop Hill where it crosses a quiet road and enters Brinktop Bushland Reserve. There is a circuit track in the reserve which gives views across the Coal River Valley and Richmond township. The reserve contains rare and endangered plant species.
