Thorndon - Path of our Ancestors
- Location
- The trail starts at the Pipitea Marae in Thorndon Quay, opposite the Railway Station and finishes at Owhiro Bay on the often wild, southern coast of Wellington.
- Description
Although this is essentially a driving trail, there are several scenic walks included that take in some of Wellington's most breathtaking scenery, (particularly of the harbour and of Wellington's southern coast).
Not all of the old pa, kainga, cultivation and burial sites of Wellington have been included in this trail, the sites that have been included are ones that have been selected for their importance to the history of Wellington, their accessibility to the public, and their viewing interest.
Throughout this trail, a Pou, (a carved post), marks various sites.
Refer below website for more details on what sites you will see during this walk.
