Carcoar historic village is set in a dell by the
oak-lined banks of the Belubula River.
With steep hills surrounding it Carcoar is a
village of untouched 19th century charm, that
feels like a traditional English village. The town
has been classified by the National Trust due to
the number of intact 19th-century buildings
which have only been preserved and restored -
there has been no reconstruction or
replication.
There are some fine Georgian buildings along
the main street, St Paul's Anglican Church built
in 1848 and designed by Edmund Blacket, the
century old court house, the 1849 convict built
stables of Stoke House is believed to be the
oldest building in the village, and many more.
The Mid Western highway bypass overlooks the
village but many people are drawn in to the
delightful village which is the third oldest town
west of the Blue Mountains.
