Description
(North to South) |
From the historic Kemp House & Stone Store on Kerikeri Basin, leave Kerikeri Road & follow the Kororipo Pa Track which curves around the headland to the SE. Kororipo Pa served as a coastal village, a fortified base for war parties and a trading post.
Once on the headland, follow the wide pasture track south-west until a DoC marker post identifies a track heading SE down into a gully and over a pedestrian bridge to Pa Rd.
Walk SE up Pa Rd & turn NE into Kerikeri Inlet Rd. Continue on for 2 kms to a forest gate & the northern end of Te Wairoa Rd - the start of the Waitangi Forest Track.
This route is a mix of footpath, grass, easy walking track & road berm. |
