The walk took me through a delightful exploration of Raglan town and its surrounding estuary

Starting from the wharf, I followed the footpath along Wallis Road towards the town centre. Turning onto Cliff Street and crossing a footbridge over the estuary, then continuing along the roadway beside the estuary, I passed a nearby campsite, enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Along the route, I crossed bridges and traversed a one-way bridge before ascending a hill towards the school. Turning onto the Kaitoke Walkway, I enjoyed great views of the estuary’s natural beauty. Reaching Robertson Street, I could exit or continue to the end, where I followed Robertson Road and crossed Main Road into Cross Street.

After walking through the Recreation Ground, I reached a car park and followed a track leading to Lily Street, concluding the loop with scenic views of the estuary, Raglan town, and the surrounding landscape.

Crossing Government Road, I descended down Lily Street, concluding a delightful excursion in this charming coastal town.

This project began in 2011. My friend Grace was the walk creator – with her knowledge of Auckland, she could “see” circular routes, and then it was up to me to map out, photograph, research and document the routes. At first, I relied upon my voice recorder and Google maps but then with the advancement of technology, the smart phone became a best friend and I was able to track our route. The best fun was when we were both pleasantly surprised by what there was to see. Beautiful wetlands, views and bush kept us inspired to explore more.
