Gold and Fleece Hotel - Your Ultimate Country Pub
HISTORY
The Gold & Fleece Hotel is a well-known historic Pub , 33 minutes from Mudgee via Windeyer Road and Hill End Road. Where families, children, pets are all welcome.
The Gold and Fleece Hotel was built in 1911 on a site of an older Inn. Windeyer was a prominent gold mining town during the mid-19th Century. Originally known as Richardsons Point. In 1859 the area was formally named as the Village of Windeyer.
History articles say Windeyer was likely named after either Charles Windeyer a Sydney Magistrate or Richard Windeyer, a barrister and politician in around 1806-1847.
Gold was first discovered in Windeyer in 1851 and as the locals tell you – Gold is still found by fossicking in Windeyer today!
