Glen Innes lies at the heart of ‘Celtic Country’ in the Northern Tablelands – beautiful rolling countryside famed for its splendid display of coloured leaves in Autumn. The area’s fascinating history is linked to convicts (the ‘Beardies’) and Scottish settlers, and the town pays homage to its forebears with annual celebrations – the Celtic Festival in May and the Land of the Beardies Bush Festival in November.
Glen Innes is known for its fine parks, galleries, antique and collectible shops. One of the main tourist activities is fossicking; tin was discovered at Vegetable Creek in 1872, and over the years the area has supported mining ventures for numerous other metals and gems.
