A good climb and spectacular harbour views await you on this 9 km loop from North East Valley to Cleghorn Street Track and Signal Hill. Starting and finishing at the bottom of Calder Ave on North Road gives you the opportunity to explore the North East Valley community garden and grab a coffee at the Steep Cafe before or after the walk.
As you reach a junction at the top of Cleghorn Street you’ll catch a glimpse of the harbour ahead. Cleghorn Street Track starts on your right just after this junction, and you’re almost immediately rewarded with harbour views as you turn onto the track!
If you fancy a (longer) side trip you could turn left onto Signal Hill Road and up to the lookout and New Zealand Centennial monument. For me that was a walk for a different day, so I turned right down Signal Hill Road and back towards Opoho and the valley.
