Epic Mount Egmont


Taranaki (New Plymouth) Belt Road Seaside Holiday Park: We arrived in the dark and the rain to wake up with a 270 degree view of the sea situated on the cliff top! New Plymouth, which was overlooked by the menacing Mount Egmont volcano cone, with its snowy peak, is an amazing location. Walking or “tramping” round the volcano is great, littered with waterfalls and deep pools for swimming if the weather permits, I say that because we had hail and rain, sun in the space of an hour! Being just off the Surf Highway we felt it was necessary to try out some of the black sand beaches along the way.
