Between the Devils Hole Lookout and Boars Head is Devils Eye Arch, an interesting rock formation which also offers a great view over Narrow Neck, Mount Solitary, the Megalong Valley and the Jamison Valley.
This vantage point offers one of the best views of both Narrow Neck, as well as Mount Solitary on its left.
In between the end of Narrow Neck and Mount Solitary is Ruined Castle, looking like a small pimple in the Jamison Valley (and also offering some great views).
This is one of the few lookouts that offers a view of both the Jamison Valley to the south-east, and the Megalong Valley to the south-west.
Narrow Neck divides the Jamison and Megalong valleys.
The “arch” from which the rock formation gets its name is more of an “eye” or window in the rock than an arch, which frames a nice view of the Megalong Valley.
Getting to Devils Eye Arch
The rock formation and lookout doesn’t have an official gazetted name, but “Devils Eye Arch” is most commonly used. Although the track from Cliff Drive in Katoomba is not signposted, it’s fairly obvious. It descends steeply near the end, with a short scramble to get to the top of the pagoda-like rock formation.
