When in the region don't miss Travelbug's top five:

2. If climbing Mount Taranaki is off the agenda, consider climbing Paritutu Rock to enjoy a bird’s eye view of New Plymouth and its coastline.
3. Visit Tawhiti Musuem in South Taranaki to sample the regions heritage through uniquely realistic and engaging displays. Great for the family.
4. Man cannot live on walks and culture alone, consider visiting New Plymouth's Iona Dairy for super-sized ice cream scoops.
