About BARRINGTON
Barrington is a small inland town in the Devonport and Cradle Mountain Region of northern Tasmania, about thirty minute’s drive from Devonport and an hour from the major city of Launceston. Its location makes it a very convenient base from which to explore the district.
A short distance to the south-west of the town is Lake Barrington, formed by the damming of the Forth River as part of a hydro-electric scheme. The lake is very popular with canoeists and water-skiers, and is held to be one of the world’s best waterways for rowing. It was host to the World Rowing the Tasmanian schools’ Head of the River rowing regatta.
Attractions in the area include the suspension bridge at Devil Gate Dam, a rainforest walk, a children’s adventure playground, and the Lake Barrington Estate vineyard, which produces highly regarded vintages of Riesling, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Nearby Sheffield attracts tourists in the region with its many murals depicting scenes of the district’s history. The area has also a reputation for eccentricity with other towns delighting in names such as Promised Land, Nook and Nowhere Else.
This tendency is taken to extremes at the very popular tourist attraction named Tasmazia, which is home to the world’s largest complex of mazes. The park contains eight separate themed mazes, including the Great Maze, the most extensive in existence, and a replica of the Hampton Court maze. It also has room for a lavender farm and a whimsical, one-fifth scaled village known as Lower Crackpot.
