Scenes from walks in and around the city

Start your tour of New Plymouth in its main street - Devon St (East and West). You can pick up pamphlets on the many official city walks for the nearby parks and reserves at the city information center

A few blocks north of Devon Street is New Plymouth's fairly quiet harbour front.

Looking out from the harbour (at dusk). Right on the waterfront is Kawaroa Park with swimming pools and recreational areas.

Scenic and Coastal walks include:

• Pukekura Park near the city center has gardens, lakes and a pretty waterfall - you can also get a great view of Mt Taranaki from here.
  
• Brooklands Park also fairly close to the city also has a lovely lake as well as an amazing rhododendron section
  
• Te Hunui Walkway is one of the historic walkways, with 5 old pas along the way.
  
• Taranaki National Park has the magnificent mountain, Mt Taranaki or Mt Egmont - we'll have a seperate section for this area on the site soon.
