A spectacular clifftop walk between Wentworth Falls and Leura — waterfalls, sheer escarpments and some of the Blue Mountains’ finest Jamison Valley views.
FreeFamily
The Grand Cliff Top Walk is the Blue Mountains’ signature day walk: a 19 km clifftop route from Wentworth Falls to Katoomba that strings together the region’s best lookouts, waterfalls and escarpment edges above the Jamison Valley. Most walkers tackle it as shorter sections — the Wentworth Falls to Leura stretch is the classic.
What you’ll see
Wentworth Falls, the Overcliff–Undercliff track, Gordon Falls, Leura Cascades and a run of lookouts staring straight across to Mount Solitary. It’s well signed and can be split into bite-sized loops from any of the villages along the way.
Getting there
Train to Wentworth Falls, Leura or Katoomba — all on the Blue Mountains line — and walk between stations. Free and open year-round; carry water and layers. Pair it with the Three Sisters and Echo Point.

Insider Tips
Do it in sections using the train stations as start and end points. Carry water and warm layers — the escarpment is exposed and weather changes fast.
