NEW PLYMOUTH DISTRICT New Plymouth offers a lively cosmopolitan base for exploring the many galleries and museums of North Taranaki. New Plymouth sits alongside the Tasman Sea and has Mount Taranaki at its back. The city and its surrounding district has a vibrant café and cultural scene, extensive events calendar and fantastic parks and gardens. Connecting the many attractions is a network of walking and cycling trails, the most prominent of which is the city’s 13km Coastal Walkway. The walkway and the city’s museums and galleries have undoubtedly contributed to New Plymouth’s transformation in recent years.

The works of that town’s favourite son are immortalised in Stratford though street names, parks and the distinctive Glockenspiel Clock Tower, which performs passages from the Great Bard’s Romeo and Juliet at 10am, 1pm, 3pm and 7pm daily. Stratford is the gateway to Taranaki Maunga and Te Papakura o Taranaki, which offers countless walks and alpine tramps or a night at the historic Ngati Ruanui Stratford Mountain House.
