Introduction

Take a trip back into New Zealand's rail heritage while you walk or cycle an old coach road. The road was used to carry passengers and goods between two railheads on the North Island main trunk link before they were linked in 1908.

This track is part of the Mountains to Sea Trail – Ngā Ara Tūhono Great Ride (Ngā Haerenga New Zealand Cycle Trails).
