Baring Head (3) - Lighthouse (Wellington) Traditional Cache

As part of a consortium, Greater Wellington purchased a 284.6 hectare property near the Baring Head lighthouse in June 2010. The purchase was made with financial contributions from the Nature Heritage Fund, Department of Conservation, Hutt City Council and a private benefactor.

The property includes the lower reaches and mouth of the Wainuiomata River, and much of the coastal escarpment around Baring Head. It is rugged, yet spectacular land, and is visible from Wellington city. A marked route provides people with a walk offering access to the lighthouse reserve and views of the headlands, coastline towards Parangarahu Lakes and Wellington, and wetlands.

The area was officially opened on Sunday 13 February 2011. Everyone is now welcome to visit. You can download a brochure with a map and more information here Baring Head
