This gracious 1840 sandstone-and-slate residence is 5km north of the city centre in New Town. It was built for Robert Pitcairn, the first lawyer to qualify in Tasmania, and named by a later owner, whaling captain Charles Bayley, after his favourite ship. Visiting is largely a DIY affair: contact the National Trust or check the website for any upcoming tours or events. To get here, take bus 15, 16 or 20.
