Normanhurst is a suburb located in the Upper
North Shore of Sydney, in the state of New
South Wales, Australia, 23 kilometres north-
west of the Sydney central business district in
the local government area of Hornsby Shire.
Normanhurst is divided by Pennant Hills Road, a
major north-south thoroughfare that leads
north to the M1 Motorway, and south towards
Parramatta. However, both the east and west
sections have extensive bush access.
On the east side, a small section of bush lies
between Normanhurst and Fox Valley.
This is land occupied by the SAN Hospital. On
the western side, the suburb backs onto the
southern reaches of the Berowra Valley, a
continuous section of bush stretching all
the way to Broken Bay. This gives Normanhurst
a very "leafy" and rural look, in comparison to
its neighbours Hornsby, Pennant Hills and
Thornleigh.
