Sugar Loaf Hill

Historical landmark

πŸ‘ Entrance to Sugar Loaf Walkway via Cumberland Rise. Easy parking spots, go up the drive by foot and then climb over the fence. A good incline if you like a challenge, dirt path, pretty straightforward. Not that long of a walk from the car park to the top, maybe 15-20mins? Wasn't really timing myself... People often mention walk, view, Great, good, park,

    Entrance to Sugar Loaf Walkway via Cumberland Rise. Easy parking spots, go up the drive by foot and then climb over the fence. A good incline if you like a challenge, dirt path, pretty straightforward. Not that long of a walk from the car park to the top, maybe 15-20mins? Wasn't really timing myself. Seats along the way if you need a rest. Good view at the top, over the vineyard and to Puketapu. I saw a lot of bees on the way up so if you are allergic to bee stings bring your supplies just in case.

    What a view, with not much walk though. The walk upto the top is quite steep. Don't go during rainy day as it gets pretty slippery but on a sunny day it's just amazing. Park your car at the carpark and 10 minute walk takes you to the top where you will see the sheeps will be walking along with you to the top. Super awesome. There is a bench on the top to sit as well. Can be a pretty good spot to have something to nibble with a view πŸ˜‰

    Lovely little walk in Taradale. Parking at both ends. Or, and my recommendation, begin your walk beside the Church Road car park & walk through a newly planted native bush. About 2km.

    Nice city scape, a few minutes from the city center. Great to take a dog for a walk and to perform a quick hike. View is nice.

    Good to take your dogs for a walk and if you want a challenge try and run up the hill. There is no wheelchair acsses as it is very steep.

    (Translated by Google) You can drive up to the middle, then walk up a bit to see Taradale, Napier, if the weather is far away, Kaweka forest park and Ruahine forest park. Especially the snow in the Ruahine Mountains is superb!
