Armidale is the gateway to the Oxley Wild Rivers and New England National Parks, both part of the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests. Make sure you stop at Wollomombi Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in Australia, which is just a short 30-minute drive from the city centre. If you’re after something unique, the granite tors of Cathedral Rock National Park offer a spectacular scramble with views that stretch forever across the plateau.

Take a stroll through the city to admire the grand cathedrals and heritage buildings that date back to the 1860s. A visit to the Saumarez Homestead, a 30-room Edwardian mansion, offers a fascinating look at 19th-century life on the land. For a deeper connection to the region, the Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Keeping Place is a must-visit to learn about the stories and rich heritage of the Anaiwan people.

The New England region is famous for its cool-climate wines and craft brews. Park the van and head to Petersons Winery for a tasting in their heritage gardens, or grab a paddle at The Welder’s Dog or Great Hops Brewing Co. in town. If you're visiting on the second Sunday of the month, the Armidale Farmers' Market is the best spot to stock your RV's fridge with fresh local lamb, honey, and seasonal produce.

If you're looking for more than just a scenic view, hit the trails at Blue Hole for a swim or a paddle in the Gara River. For those with a bit of puff, the hike to the summit of Bald Rock—the largest exposed granite dome in the Southern Hemisphere—is an unforgettable experience just north of town. Cyclists will also love exploring the New England High Country 1000 routes that criss-cross the rugged tablelands.
