One of the best things about a trip to Beechworth is the food. There are many different types of local produce that you can sample and many restaurants that take advantage of the array of locally grown ingredients. A must visit food establishment in Beechworth is the Beechworth Bakery, which is well known all around Australia for its wide range of pies, cakes and pastries that are on offer.

The town of Beechworth is arguably the best preserved gold mining town in Australia with many heritage trust buildings that you can see and visit.
