Main Centres

In the rhododendron season, New Plymouth’s parks and gardens are beautiful to behold. Or pull on your hiking boots and aim for Mount Taranaki.

Towns

You’ll enjoy Eltham for its pretty Victorian buildings. The main employer here is a cheese factory – buy something tasty for the picnic basket.
If you love milk and cheese, schedule a stop in Hawera – home of the southern hemisphere’s largest single site dairy factory.
Stop off at Inglewood before you venture into the Egmont National Park. You can pick up provisions and ask about hiking and climbing safety.
If you travel ‘Surf Highway 45’, you can’t miss Opunake. Stay a while to enjoy the beach and the historic walkway, which ends at Te Namu Pa.
If you’re passing through Patea, stop and ask a local to sing Poi-E for you. It’s one of New Zealand’s favourite songs and it was invented here.
The town of Stratford looks after hikers, bikers and climbers who plan to venture into the Egmont National Park. Mount Taranaki is right next door.
Bridge swinging is a Waitara specialty, or you could arrange to tour magnificent Manukorihi Pa. North Taranaki is full of surprises.
