Castle Hill/Kura Tawhiti

Scattered across lush paddocks around 33km from Springfield, these limestone formations reach up to 30m high, and look so other-worldly they were named ‘treasure from a distant land’ by early Māori. A car park (with toilets) provides easy access to a short walk into the strange rock garden (10 minutes), favoured by rock climbers and photographers.
