Sorell is a historic regional centre in south-east Tasmania, about 25 kilometres north-east of Hobart. It makes a practical base or pause for visitors travelling towards the Tasman Peninsula and the east coast. Discover Tasmania provides an introduction to the town and its history.

The Sorell Council visitor page (opens in a new tab) is a useful place to check local facilities, beaches, parks and community information before you set out.
For time outdoors, choose a walk to suit the day and confirm access details locally. The Brinktop Reserve and Richmond Park Track (opens in a new tab) is one nearby option listed by Discover Tasmania.
Keep the day unhurried: combine the town centre with one outdoor stop, and leave current bookings, road conditions and opening details to the relevant providers.
