Transmission Gully – Puketiro loop – Battle Hill Farm Forest Park
- Location
- Turn off SH 58 at Pauatahanui onto the Paekakariki Hill Road and drive 6km to Battle Hill Farm Forest Park. Alternatively, turn off SH1 at Plimmerton onto Grays Rd, then turn left at the end onto Paekakariki Hill Rd. The Kapiti end of Paekakariki Hill Road beyond Battle Hill is not suitable for heavy vehicles.
- Description
Please travel the loop in a clockwise direction and take warm clothing as the hilltops are exposed to strong winds. From the Dell car park follow the farm road through the Airstrip and over the Gas Line Ridge to Transmission Gully. Follow the markers across the paddock to the stream and take the left-hand gate into the forest. The track climbs the hill through the pine plantation to the top from which you will have great views of the Pauatahanui Inlet and the South Island on a clear day. Follow the track markers south along the top before continuing downhill back to Transmission Gully. Return to the car park over the Gas Line Ridge.
The park is open daily from 8am to dusk. Much of the park is closed from August to October for lambing, although some key tracks remain open.
