SHEFFIELD is Tasmania's largest outdoor art gallery and known as 'the town of murals'. With sensational views of picturesque Mount Roland, Sheffield is an ideal town in which to take a self guided tour of the murals. The beauty of the surrounding area can be explored on horseback, with both beginners and advanced riders catered for, or via a wine tasting tour of some delightful local vineyards.
