Westbury is a charming 19th-century village in northern Tasmania, known for its English-inspired hedgerows, quiet lanes and beautifully preserved heritage buildings.

Visitors can wander the tree-lined streets, explore historic courtyards and stables, and enjoy the traditional village green — one of the few of its kind in Australia. Established in the 1830s, the green once hosted military parades, archery competitions, fairs and even stocks for prisoners.

A highlight is Pearns Steam World, home to the world’s largest collection of antique steam engines and an impressive range of century-old agricultural machinery.

With its heritage charm, relaxing atmosphere and unique attractions, Westbury is an ideal stop for history lovers and curious travellers. The town is located just 25 minutes (34 km) west of Launceston.
