Located only 40 km north of Launceston on the West Tamar Highway,
Beaconsfield is in the heart of the north eastern apple growing district and
part of the Tamar Valley region. Beaconsfield is where the regions future took off, when
gold was discovered at Cannage Tree Hill in the late 1870’s.
Mining is still going on in Beaconsfield in one of the old
shafts. The other two are closed and now house the Grubb
Shaft Museum.
