A popular attraction is the Fingal Lighthouse and a long walk along the lovely beach can give one a chance to really “chill out”. A swim on the way is a nice way to cool down on a hot day. The area was name after Fingal in Ireland because the basalt headland was thought to be similar to the Giants Causeway there. The beach and lighthouse can be reached through remnant coast rainforest which is being regenerated by the nationally recognised and award winning efforts of local enthusiasts.

The name Lapstone Hill was first given to the slope of the eastern escarpment in 1832 because of the number of water worn stones that resembled the stones cobblers held between their knees to beat the leather against. In 1964 the railway station was built by Lapstone Estate LTD and therefore became known as Lapstone. The railway platform was originally known as Lucasville Platform and was built in 1878 to serve Mr John Lucas, Minister for Mines.

Wentworth Falls was first known as Weatherboard Hut, because of the slab huts built there by William Cox while he was forging the road over the Blue Mountains in 1814.

Just south of the town of Wentworth Falls there are views of the Jamison Valley and of the 300-metre Wentworth Falls themselves, from Falls Reserve which is the starting point for a network of walking tracks.
