Jaspers Brush

Lush green, gently rolling meadows and sweeping landscape views define Jaspers Brush. The area’s rural scenes are connected with its dairy farming. There are also all kinds of discoveries to make: rides on a miniature railway, a vineyard walk, an art gallery and places with a history. You can shape your stay around whether you mainly want to experience the landscape or combine different activities.

Rural scenery and a tree with a story

The meadows and panoramic views give Jaspers Brush a rural character connected with the area’s dairy farming. Another distinctive feature can be found on the grounds of Jaspers Berry in Jaspers Brush: the Magic Faraway Tree, which dates from around 1850. Its approximate date makes it a different point of connection to the area’s history than its active leisure attractions. If you’re interested in nature and scenery, you can include this side of the area in your travel plans alongside the rides and cultural experiences.

Ride the Penwood Miniature Railway

The Penwood Miniature Railway runs scale-model steam trains through a rural estate. It operates on the first Sunday of each month, with unlimited rides available. For families looking to enjoy an activity together, this is a specific outing whose monthly operating day you can take into account when planning. Picnic facilities, parking and toilets are available. The combination of train rides and picnic facilities may be especially appealing when planning your day; parking and toilets are other practical amenities. The railway is clearly distinct from the quieter impressions of meadows and panoramic landscapes.

Vineyard and art gallery at Silos Estate

At Silos Estate, you can stroll through the vineyard and visit the art gallery at the Cellar Door. This combines time outdoors with a cultural visit, so you don’t have to limit your outing to just one type of experience. The Cellar Door is open seven days a week from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, except on Christmas Day. If you’re planning a visit, these hours are a useful guide. The vineyard walk and the gallery cater to two different interests: scenery on the one hand, art on the other.

A look at the area’s history

The former Jaspers Brush School is also part of the area’s history. It operated from 1897 to 1968. This period offers a different kind of discovery than a visit to the miniature railway or a walk through the vineyard: it provides a specific historical connection to Jaspers Brush. Alongside the Magic Faraway Tree, it offers a way to explore the area’s past as well as its scenery and leisure activities. These two historical connections are distinct details: the school is defined by its years of operation, while the tree is dated approximately.
