 Heritage

Spend some time in the A & H Doddridge Blacksmith in Angaston. This heritage-listed Blacksmith Shop was once the industrial heart of the village. If antiques is more your thing check out Barossa Chateau – Art & Antiques in Lyndoch home to one of the largest private collections of porcelain in Australia. Also worth a look is Angaston’s Collingrove Homestead, a National trust property built in 1856 by pioneer George Fife Angas.
