BRICKENDON AND WOOLMERS ESTATE

Accessibility Information

Find Brickendon and Woolmers Estate on the outskirts of Longford, a 20-minute drive 25km south of Launceston, and a 185km drive (or a little over two hours) north of Hobart. Woolmers Estate runs guided tours of the house, and guided convict tours, with self-guided tours of other areas on the property also available. Bookings are recommended.

Travellers can stay in rustic farm cottages, including a trio of original convict-built cottages at Brickendon, and in modernised convict-built cottages at Woolmers Estate. For guests of Brickendon Estate, the Farm cottages are most suitable for dog guides, as they are on one level with a more open plan and are a little further from the centre of the tourist attraction. At Woolmers Estate, Gardeners Cottage is the best-suited accommodation for dog guides. The standalone cottage has only a ground floor.

The 796 bus service can take you from Launceston to the 118 Marlborough Street stop in Longford, which is a 23-minute walk from the Brickendon Estate. There are also places to eat and stay in the small town of Longford. Taxis can take you to both Woolmers and Brickendon.
