About this place

NSW Government lists Anvil Rock on Anvil Rock Road, Blackheath, as a weathered sandstone formation with views over the Grose Valley to Mount Banks and Mount Hay. The name comes from an anvil placed on the lookout in 1940. A short walk from the carpark reaches the rock; a wind-eroded cave is about 400 m west. Hat Hill Road continues to Perrys Lookdown at the same fork.

Access & getting there

From Blackheath take Hat Hill Road, then left at the fork onto Anvil Rock Road to the small carpark. Right fork is Perrys Lookdown. No dogs in the national park.
