Montacute is a small regional area in the Adelaide Hills , South Australia .[3] Fifth Creek , and the mostly-rural suburb extends from Rostrevor in the west to Lenswood in the east, bounded on the north by Castambul and on the south by Norton Summit and Cherryville .[4] Montacute Heights is located on top of the ridge between Fifth and Sixth Creeks. Montacute is reached from Adelaide via Montacute Road .
Copper was discovered in the area in 1843 by Thomas Burr , and a mine was soon set up. One of the mine's financiers, Sir John Baker , named the area after Montacute , Somerset , which was near his birthplace. Gold was discovered in 1846 and the "Victoria Mine" became Australia's first commercially exploited gold deposit.[3]
The main industries are now orchards and market gardens . The 200 hectare Montacute Conservation Park was founded in 1971.[5]
Corkscrew Road, a small road linking Montacute Heights with Gorge Road via a precipitous route with many twists and turns, is a popular route for cyclists and day trippers .[3]
