About Paterson
Paterson is one of the historic towns of the Barrington Tops area, 18 km north of Maitland. This small, picturesque village has a mountain backdrop by the Paterson River. Once a busy river port, Paterson today offers a relaxing break with cosy B&Bs, old country pubs and plenty of perfect picnic spots.
Don't miss a visit to Tocal Homestead, an impressive Regency mansion set amongst fig trees and overlooking the river. From Paterson, you can set out on other adventures in the area such as to Barrington Tops National Park or the wineries of the Hunter Valley.
