Walking and Cycling
Tired of driving and watching your money literally disappear into thin air? Why don’t you dust off your trainers or the seat of your bike and hit one of New Zealand’s best networks of shared paths!
Councils in our region have been working hard over the last few years to provide a healthier and more environmentally friendly way of getting from A to B. Considerable investment has gone into a network of paths, especially Nelson and Richmond, to provide you with another opportunity to get more active, more often.
- Richmond and Motueka Cycling and Walking options: CYCLE and WALK
- Marlborough Cycling and Walking options: CYCLE and WALK
In addition to this is Top of the South Maps. Tasman District Council and Nelson City Council have worked collaboratively to develop this online mapping system that at the click of a button will show you cycle routes, walking tracks and much more to help you get more active more often.
