Majestic Views: Exploring the Duke & Duchess of York Lookout


Duke & Duchess of York Lookout

The walking path to this lookout is very easy and is around 200 metres long. The walk is parallel to the tranquil waters of Kedumba River.

The lookout opens up to the spectacular valley and beyond. Breathtaking views include Mount Solitary, Ruined Castle, and the Narrow Neck plateau.
Katoomba Falls sits somewhere below the lookout, and cannot be seen, however, the panoramic valley view's make up for not being able to see the falls.

The Duke & Duchess of York Lookout is connected to the Prince Henry Cliff Walk and leads to the Katoomba Falls Round Walk and Scenic World.

The lookout was named after The Duke of York (later to be King George VI) and the Duchess of York (Queen Mother) when they visited Echo Point in 1927.
