Cygnet is the valley's artsy village, set on a sheltered inlet south of Huonville. It has galleries, cafes, a popular market, and a slower back-road feel than the highway towns. The appeal is not a single monument, but the way it gathers the valley's food, craft, and small-community life into a walkable centre.
Come when the market is on if you can. Outside market hours, Cygnet still works as a pleasant detour on a loop through the valley and D'Entrecasteaux Channel.
