Being in York is like taking a step back in time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our town is full of history and heritage stretching back over 190 years since European settlement in 1831 and prior to this being occupied by our land’s traditional owners, the Ballardong Noongar people, for thousands of years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
York was settled just 2 years after Perth, with the release of town allotments in 1835 and the first buildings erected in 1836.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It doesn't take very long as you're walking the streets of York to feel like you’ve been transported back in time! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With heritage-listed buildings and sites on almost every corner and a dedicated heritage trail for you to explore, you’ll be able to take a walk through living history when you visit.

There's truly no better time than now to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of York by exploring our picturesque trails.

While many visitors spend their day in the charming downtown area, which we agree is very lovely, there's a world of wonder waiting to be discovered beyond. Our town boasts breathtaking trails that follow the river and lead up to Wongborel/Mt. Brown.

Even if you didn't come prepared for an extensive hike, don't worry! You can enjoy a short, manageable walk starting from the first parking lot up Wongborel/Mt. Brown. It's a gentle incline, and you won't need much time at all. The rewards? An array of unique and captivating viewpoints.

So, as you pack for your weekend getaway, consider including a visit to our trails in your plans. For more information, feel free to visit our website or pick up a York Trails brochure at the Visitors Centre (Town Hall) downtown.
