Westbury is a historic service town west of Launceston. Its broad streets, village green and mix of public, religious and commercial buildings preserve the form of a nineteenth-century rural centre.

Begin at the village green

The green provides an easy public starting point. From there, short streets reveal different periods of town development without requiring a fixed trail.

Look, but respect active buildings

Churches, inns and houses may be heritage listed while remaining private or commercially operated. Check access and opening hours rather than assuming interiors are available.

Connect the valley towns

Westbury works well with Deloraine, Carrick and Hadspen. Allow for rural road speeds and frost in winter, and use council notices for works around the town centre.
