Explore this part of Parnell around Gladstone Road, with garden paths and green spaces between the city and the harbour.

Gladstone Road, Parnell Streets & the Cathedral Precinct The Parnell section continues through the Gladstone Road, Alberon Reserve and St Georges Bay Road area toward upper Parnell Road.

Auckland Museum & Auckland Domain The walk then heads toward Auckland Museum, formally known as Auckland War Memorial Museum, through the Maunsell Road and Titoki Street approach. Discover the museum precinct and the surrounding grounds of Auckland Domain, including the parkland around its memorial forecourt and Auckland Domain Cenotaph. The route continues through the Domain’s lawns, mature trees and wooded paths toward the city. The wider Domain also contains the Domain Wintergardens, glasshouses, fernery, ornamental ponds, duck ponds and historic tea kiosk area.
