Community Website and Guide for Kenilworth Township in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland
Kenilworth is a small town, with a population of about 300, in the beautiful upper Mary Valley Country, behind the Blackall Range, only about one and a half hours drive north of Brisbane and 50 minutes from the coast. The Town is on the Mary River which flows North from Maleny, through Conondale, Kenilworth, Gympie, Tiaro, Maryborough, and then into the sea opposite Frazer Island.
Kenilworth retains its 1930's atmosphere and, for the visitor, has a surprising amount of interest with a very engaging historical museum and a good range of eateries, shops, art gallery and a cheese, yoghurt and ice-cream factory.
The Conondale State Forest, adjacent to the Town, provides excellent opportunities for horse riding, walking and fishing and the Kenilworth area has a wide variety of options for accomodation from basic camping to luxury retreats.
