In 1930 Sydney Smith Jr. wrote that: "During a recent visit to Ebor I was much impressed with the possibilities of this part of the State as a tourist resort... Around Ebor and Guy Fawkes can be seen some of the most magnificent scenery in this State if not Australia. ...The two falls are scenes of beauty, and in winter time are sometimes frozen, making a beautiful spectacle as they hang in huge icicles. The water from the Ebor eventually finds an outlet in the Clarence River. ...The view, ...as regards expansiveness, ruggedness, and beauty, must compare more than favourably with views of a similar nature in any part of the Commonwealth. It reminded me of the [[Valley of a Thousand Hills]], outside Durban, in South Africa".<ref>{{cite web| url = https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16692533| title = 02 Aug 1930 – EBOR|via=Trove}}</ref>

In 1976, local historian Eric Fahey also wrote: "I believe the future of Dorrigo will depend largely on tourism. The area has a lot to offer, both in peerless scenery and because of the native fauna which can be seen in large numbers in their natural state."<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/8459414|title=The settlement of Guy Fawkes and Dorrigo / Eric Fahey|via=Trove|access-date=2 February 2022}}</ref>

[[Wagyu]] beef specialists Stone Axe have a large holding, "Glen Alvie", on the northern boundary of the village.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.queenslandcountrylife.com.au/story/4738224/stone-axe-buys-ebors-glen-alvie-video/| title = Ebor's Glen Alvie under contract with Stone Axe |website=Queenslandcountrylife.com.au| date = 19 June 2017}}</ref> Stone Axe also acquired "Alfreda" in the nearby locality of Wongwibinda.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.stoneaxepastoral.com.au/operations/| title = Operations – Stone Axe Pastoral|website=Stoneaxepastoral.com.au}}</ref>

Black truffles ([[tuber melanosporum]]) are grown at the Guy Fawkes Truffle Company outside of Ebor on the Guyra Rd.

Trout are another local product. The Dutton Trout Hatchery on [[Point Lookout (New South Wales)|Point Lookout]] Road was established in 1950 and is one of the largest hatcheries in the state. Visitors can see the various stages of trout development prior to their release in the mountain streams.<ref>New England County Tourist Assoc., New England County, Summerland Printers, Ballina, n.d.</ref> The release of trout into local streams is believed to have led to decline of the endangered [[Tusked frog]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/threatenedspeciesapp/profile.aspx?id=10032| title = Tusked Frog population in the Nandewar and New England Tableland Bioregions – profile |website=Environment.nsw.gov.au}}</ref>

There are two short walks close to the village. One takes walkers through the {{convert|40|ha}} recreation reserve. This walk follows the Guy Fawkes River upstream for about half of the walk. Some bird life can be seen. The second walk is accessed by crossing the Guy Fawkes River bridge,<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.clanmaclennan-worldwide.com/genealogy/clan_histories/Armidale-GraftonRoad/files/mobile/index.html#67| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180707043553/https://www.clanmaclennan-worldwide.com/genealogy/clan_histories/Armidale-GraftonRoad/files/mobile/index.html| archive-date = 7 July 2018| title = The Armidale to Grafton Road Sesquicentennial History 1846-1996 by David Freeman, Second Edition 2010}}</ref> and following the pedestrian path that winds downstream under the bridge. This path follows the Guy Fawkes River north and meets the national park's Upper and Lower Falls paths. Wallabies, kangaroos, bird life and fire-flies can be seen depending on the season. [[Platypus]] have also been sighted in August in the pool above the falls.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}}

The [[Bicentennial National Trail]] (BNT) passes through Ebor, which sits on the boundary of sections 7 and 8 of the BNT.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.bicentennialnationaltrail.com.au/discover-the-bnt/#menu_bnt| title = Discover The National Trail – National Trail|website=Bicentennialnationaltrail.com.au}}</ref>

The [[Ebor Falls]] area is sometimes used for [[rock climbing]], and is described as "holding a rather special place in the History of New England climbing".<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.thecrag.com/climbing/australia/ebor-gorge| title = Ebor Gorge, Trad climbing |website=Thecrag.com}}</ref>
