The Old Coach rd

A great run down into the Wolgan Valley from up on the Newnes Plateau.

Approx 30km for either Lithgow or Clarence turn off the Glow Worm tunnel rd to the right on to the Old Coach road.

5km of gentle descent will to the locked gate. Over this and on the road becomes steeper and rougher. Big water bars and spectacular views.

Just watch out for the second gate. you cross a flat section with views over pagodas to the left. the road drops down again around a left and then back to the right in between two pagodas... this is where the gate is.

Fun swooping decent follows with just a small up hill.
From the end of the coach rd at the old coal mine you can continue down the road to the causeway or you can head right along the rail easement (sections of private property but OK to walk or cycle) and extra 10km of fun single trail to Newnes camp ground
