Bacchus Marsh

Less than an hour from Melbourne via the Western (Ballarat) Highway Bacchus Marsh is a rural town of undulating hills, market gardens and cool shade trees. The entrance to Bacchus Marsh is the Avenue of Honour lined with large elm trees interspersed with market garden outlets for you to purchase fresh veges and fruit to take back with you.

The town centre of Bacchus Marsh shows off its rich history with historical buildings including St Andrews Church, The Courthouse and the Tudor style Border Inn. The main Street is lined with cafes for local treats, shopping for all your necessities, and there's a shopping centre including a Coles supermarket.

This is a town for long walks to enjoy the streetscapes and for those more energetic a short trip to Werribee Gorge and Lerderderg Gorge state parks offer great walking trails.
