Napier Museum and Zoo Grounds Loop

Embark on this delightful loop trail starting right at the entrance to the Napier Museum and Zoo complex. From the moment you step through the gates, you'll be enveloped in the serene atmosphere of the spacious, verdant grounds. Think of it as a little green lung right in the heart of the city. The walk is characterised by its mature trees, their branches offering dappled shade, and well-maintained pathways that wind their way through this peaceful oasis. It’s a chance to escape the urban hustle and bustle and enjoy a calming ramble amidst nature's beauty. Keep an eye out for local birdlife flitting amongst the trees – you might even spot a cheeky squirrel or two. The paths are generally well-surfaced, making for a comfortable stroll, but be aware that some areas might be a little uneven underfoot, particularly after a bit of rain. Perfect for a gentle wander and a breath of fresh air.
