About a 30 minute drive from Ancombe. It is a great hub for walking tracks of any length from an hour or so to overnighters or even the summit. Check out the map on my wall for details, the Department of Conservation website, or just pop into the Visitor's Centre at North Egmont for advice on which routes to take and what to prepare for. Basic gear list would include: a pack with... spare thermal tops and bottoms, raincoat (even if it looks sunny!), first aid kit, water, food.

The closest entry point for climbing Mt Taranaki, doing the Puakai Circuit, or doing some of the shorter walks up on the Mountain.

Great starting point for day walks, Pouaki Crossing or a summit. Or just visit the centre, grab a coffee and walk a nature trail.

This is the closest access to the mountain from New Plymouth, only a 30 minute drive. The summit route starts from here (suitable in summer only unless you are an experienced mountaineer), along with many other shorter walks. The Visitor Centre itself has interesting exhibits
