The city of Hobart enjoys a location of breathtaking scenic beauty, and a stroll along the idyllic banks of the Hobart Rivulet is an excellent avenue of exercise as well as a way to soak up the city’s charming historical landmarks. It is an ideal excursion to enhance your stay at one of the fine serviced apartments Hobart has to offer its leisure and corporate visitors, such as the Somerset on the Pier Hobart. Featuring a scenic location peppered with elegant interiors, Hobart accommodation does not get better than this. Head on down to Hobart Rivulet Linear Park for a charming stroll along the river. The 2km stretch winds along the banks of the rivulet before following the water way and disappearing beneath the city (also a walkable path) before emerging and passing the Cascade Brewery nestled at the foot of Mount Wellington, where you will find an expansive playground for the little ones to exert some energy, as well as picnic and barbeque facilities that serve as the perfect culmination for your walk. It is best accessed from Cascade Gardens or at the Molle-Collins intersection in the city. Some cultural highlights to look for during the walk come in the form of Milton Mansion, an excellent example of Georgian architecture, and Degraves street, home to the remnants of the Female Factor, which once held female convicts and their children. Cascade Brewery was erected on the banks of the rivulet to fully integrate the pure water course into the brewing process, and the linear park path ends at this renowned site.
