The cast iron tower was made in England and then erected on Pencarrow Head, at the entrance to Wellington Harbour. It was first lit on New Year's Day 1859 and beamed its cautionary message for 76 years, until it was decommissioned and replaced by the Baring Head lighthouse. Located within Wellington's East Harbour Regional Park, the lighthouse makes for a pleasant day-trip. Walk or cycle the 8km gravel track to the lighthouse from Burden's Gate, at the south end of Eastbourne (8km walk). You can hire bikes at the beginning of this walk Eastbourne is located 40 minutes drive from downtown Wellington or 30 minutes aboard the East By West Ferry.

Great (flat) coastal walk. Interesting in sun or storm. Access lakes. Cycle hire at Bike Shed, Burden's Gate.

Flat scenic trail with no vehicles, gorgeous views down to the South Island, and a dozen deserted beaches on the way. Just be careful going in a strong Northerly wind - it's an easy walk with the wind at your back, but harder coming home!

Very good walk on a nice day, requires a good level of fitness especially if it is windy. You will need to drive to the seaside suburb of Eastbourne.
