As sweet as pie

Known for its cool climate and hills upon hills of apple orchards, Bilpin is – unsurprisingly – NSW’s home of the pie. In fact, the Hawkesbury town is peppered with 11 outlets dishing up the delicious treat. The new Bilpin Apple Pie Trail maps out the vendors, scattered along 15 kilometres of the scenic Bells Line of Road, making for a charming day trip from Sydney. Of course, pies are only part of the appeal: try your hand at fruit picking at Shields Orchard; peruse the Bilpin Markets on Saturdays; drop into Hillbilly Cider for pizza and live music; or take a stroll through Wildwood Garden.
