The riverside township of Franklin exudes old-world Tasmanian charm, with its historic buildings, classic streetscape, and the sight of beautifully crafted wooden boats drifting on the Huon River. Found in the picturesque Huon Valley, Franklin holds the title as the oldest settlement in the region, quietly resting on the western banks of the tranquil Huon River.

This vibrant village boasts a warm, welcoming feel. The main street is lined with heritage cottages and buildings, many showcasing blooming front gardens and fruit trees, reflecting the area’s rich agricultural past. Wander up the peaceful lanes that rise into the hills, and you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the town and river below.

Franklin is a hub for local produce and cuisine. Its selection of eateries, from riverfront cafes to relaxed restaurants, highlights the region’s fresh flavors. Along the roadside, fruit stalls brim with apples, pears, and other seasonal delights, offering a taste of the Huon Valley’s famous apple-growing history.
