A glorious day after very rough weather earlier this week made the walk today very enjoyable. The sun shone on the full tide, which encouraged me to take many photos as we walked around Westhaven Drive and under the Harbour Bridge.

Quick facts about this walk

The Hobbiton Movie Set Day Tour - From Auckland

This Auckland walk not only has fabulous views, it is mostly flat (apart from the steep steps at Jacob’s Ladder. Victoria Park has a great children’s playground and skate park, and there are beautiful old homes to enjoy.

There is also a dog off leash area along the way. Victoria Park Markets have been upgraded with cafes and a few retail stores.

The Westhaven Promenade forms part of a 20km continuous walkway and cycleway that runs from Herne Bay in the west to Tamaki Drive in the east.

This walk is a shorter version of my Westhaven Path Loop walk which takes in the Viaduct.

Dogs – this walk includes an off leash dog exercise area in Point Erin Park.

We stopped at the Buyo Cafe for a coffee in the sun, overlooking the moored yachts – bliss! I didn’t want to leave…

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.
