Take a Walk

There are two fantastic walks on offer that allows you to stretch your legs while learning a bit about your surroundings. The guided 'European Settlement of New Plymouth' tells the story of how the town grew and leaves Puke Ariki at 1pm each Sunday (bookings essential). If Stones Could Talk... is a self-guided walk - purchase the booklet with information and maps at i-SITE - or a guide can be booked if required.
