You might not recognise it at first glance, but the rolling farmland around Oatlands played a starring role in Ancestry Road, a Tasmanian-made supernatural drama filmed at Bowhill Grange along the Heritage Highway.

Using the property's sweeping landscapes, historic character and wide-open countryside as a stand-in for rural Scotland, the film brings a uniquely Tasmanian setting to screens across the country.

Now you can see it for yourself when Ancestry Road airs nationally on 9Go! on Saturday 6 June at 5:40pm.

The beating heart of historic Oatlands, The Kentish Tasmania has been welcoming locals and travellers since 1832. It's a great place to grab a drink, while also offering a restaurant, café, and accommodation right in the centre of town.

Looking for a quiet country escape? Sitting in Avoca overlooking the St Pauls River, rolling paddocks and resident sheep, Crooked Chimney Cottage feels like stepping into a slower pace of life.

Once a humble miner’s cottage, today it mixes old character with thoughtful comforts, and makes a great base for exploring the Heritage Highway and Tasmania’s East Coast.

Standing proudly in the heart of Evandale since around 1872, St Andrews Church of England is a beautiful example of Gothic Revival architecture, with its soaring spire, pointed arch windows, and simple country charm. Hard to drive past without looking up.

Have you visited Lark Distillery in Pontville? About 35 minutes north of Hobart, at the southern end of the Heritage Highway, there’s a wonderful old estate where the buildings date back to the 1800s… and the smell of whisky hangs quietly in the air. You can wander through, see it all working, and get a feel for how it all comes together.
