Day Trips from Northam

One of the best things about staying at Northam Holiday Park is its central location. Set in the Avon Valley, Northam is the perfect base for day trips to nearby towns, countryside, and national parks – all within an easy drive.

A short trip east takes you to York, Western Australia’s first inland settlement. Famous for its beautifully preserved colonial buildings, York also boasts a motor museum, art galleries, and seasonal events. It’s a town full of charm and character.

Head west and you’ll find Toodyay, another heritage town with a vibrant main street, weekend markets, and attractions like the historic gaol museum. Toodyay is also known for its community events and scenic drives.

Nature lovers can spend the day in Avon Valley National Park, with its bushwalking trails, picnic spots, and opportunities to spot kangaroos and birdlife. The park is particularly beautiful in spring, when wildflowers are in bloom.

Further afield, the Chittering Valley offers rolling hills, orchards, and wineries. It’s a scenic drive that rewards visitors with fresh produce and country hospitality. Closer to Northam, the smaller town of Beverley is worth a visit for its aviation history and thriving arts scene.

With so many destinations within reach, Northam makes it easy to see the best of regional WA without long drives.
