Location: Ngaio, Wellington, New Zealand
Overview:
Short diversion off main Wadestown street to historic gun site
Grade: Beginner
Access: Bike and Foot
Description:
Fort Buckley was an important gun emplacement during WW II. The site of the old guns sit above Ngaio Gorge looking out over the harbour. The site is being upgraded and now has wide, smooth tracks and new plantings. Well worth a short diversion if you are passing through Wadestown.
Note that although its only about 50 metres above Ngaio Gorge and the old Hutt Road, there isn't any way up from the bottom. Don't try climbing up - if you fall it'll hurt!
Getting there:
Access from Barnard St. There is a seat and a new fence near the path down (but no signage).
Length: 0.15km
Conditions: Single track
