Welcome to Glen Innes...

Every year more people are discovering the advantages of living and running a business in Glen Innes Severn, the Heart of New England in Celtic Country. Glen Innes is located at the intersection of the New England and Gwydir Highways, which offer the best routes between Sydney and Brisbane (4 hours) and between the inland and the north coast of NSW (2 hours). It is a rich fattening and breeding area for fine wool, prime lambs and cattle. Until recent years, the district produced more than half of the world's supply of sapphires including the famous Reddestone blues. Fossicking for sapphires and other minerals remains a popular pastime for locals and thousands of visitors alike.

Summer is pleasant with warm days and mild nights. Autumn brings a wide variety of deciduous trees to their full glory. Winter is bracing with occasional snowfalls. Spring brings the area to life with blossom, new leaves, wildflowers, lambs, calves and foals. It is an ideal time for bushwalking in our beautiful National Parks. Plenty of accommodation is available in the numerous motels, hotels, caravan parks, B & B’s and holiday farms. You will find a friendly welcome to make your visit a memorable time.
