New Plymouth: New Plymouth is the main city of Taranaki. It has grown from a farming and petrochemical centre to a city rich in the arts, dining, sports and outdoor lifestyle. It is well known for its great parks, including the magnificent Pukekura Park, Nga Motu/Sugar Loaf Islands Marine Park, Tupare Gardens, and the nearby Egmont National Park (featuring Mount Taranaki/Egmont) and Pukeiti Rhododendron Trust. There are several heritage trails and city walkways - including the 7km-long Coastal Walkway - and good local beaches are East End, Fitzroy, Oakura and Ngamotu. The Govett-Brewster Art Gallery owns a collection of Len Lye kinetic sculptures. The city's historic buildings include St Mary's Pro-Cathedral, which is the oldest stone church in New Zealand. Puke Ariki is the world's first purpose-built and fully integrated museum, library and information centre.
