Nestled in the heart of Auckland, Hillborough is a true haven for walkers to explore

One of my favourite spots to wander is the Hillsborough Cemetery, where history and quiet converge. The cemetery’s peaceful surroundings provide a unique backdrop for a reflective stroll, offering a glimpse into the past as you wander amidst the gravestones.

Just a stone’s throw away lies Waikowhai Park, a nature walk that is not only interesting, it’s full of greenery and great walking tracks. This park is a hidden gem where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of New Zealand’s native flora and fauna. It’s a perfect spot for nature lovers and families alike, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Auckland’s city life.

Whether you seek moments of quiet reflection or the joy of discovering new walks, Hillsborough welcomes you with open arms, and I’m eager to share my walks in this charming suburb with you!
