The Hilltops Region is located in southern New South Wales and covers an area of 714,040 hectares (7,140 square kilometres). The large area of the region makes it difficult for visitors to see everything that is on offer across the entire art trail.

To help you plan your trip we have created "Art Trails Within the Trail" featuring exhibitions, events and attractions that are nearby each other.

Choose Your Trail and Let's Get Exploring...
