Arts, culture, heritage and lifestyle in Morpeth

Morpeth is a historic river port crowded with character on a tree-lined stretch of the Hunter River, upstream from the Newcastle Hunter Valley region.

About Morpeth

Morpeth’s days as a river port were effectively over by about 1890, but the town’s comparative isolation meant that its historic shopfronts, wharves and even the hitching posts along the main street have survived intact.

Today, Morpeth is National Trust-classified and no longer a backwater but a wide-awake town crammed with cafes, craft shops and an annual events calendar. This is a living museum of Australia’s past, a history lesson that’s easy to digest.

Be sure to visit Morpeth Wine Cellars and Moonshine Distillery for local wine and cheese tastings and browse Morpeth Trading Post to see beautiful ceramics, glass ware and china and old bush tools.
