Tingledale Hall, formerly the Tingledale school, is listed on the shire's heritage register. It is a typical one-teacher school building and dates back to 1925. Tingledale was settled as part of the Group Settlement Scheme, with the school being part of Group Settlement number 116. The school opened in 1925 and remained open until 1938, when declining pupil numbers forced its closure. The school reopened the following year and remained open until 1968. It is now used as a community hall.^[5]

The Valley of the Giants and Ancient Empire Trail is also listed on the shire's heritage register, dating to 1996.^[6]
