High: 23 Low: 8There are two city heritage walks to explore in the city of Wanganui. Choose from the Central City or the Old Town areas—free brochures provide a brief on each location plus line drawings of some of the various historical sights. Another pedestrian adventure is the journey up Durie Hill.
Stroll across the Wanganui City Bridge to the Durie Hill pedestrian tunnel, which leads to the famous Durie Hill Elevator. When you get to the top, climb the Durie Hill War Memorial Tower, built of fossilised shell rock. From this splendid viewpoint, take in the spectacular scenery of Wanganui and the Tasman Sea. On a clear day you'll also see Mount Taranaki and Mount Ruapehu.
