Join our guided tour of Fernhill Estate with the Greater Sydney Parklands’ education team, offered monthly this year.

Explore the beautiful gardens, originally crafted by Paul Sorensen, and uncover the history of this colonial homestead.

Wander through the unique landscape where the Cumberland Plain Woodlands meet the Escarpment and discover the rich variety of native plants and wildlife in the area.

Visit Fernhill House to learn about its fascinating past, from the Cox family in the late 1800s to the Andersons in the 1980s. Tour through some of the historic rooms with your guide.

Tours run for 2 hours, with the option to enjoy a picnic on the grounds.
