Cable Bay Walkway
Cable Bay Walkway
A 3.5 hour walk (one way) across rolling pastures and through coastal forest delights walkers with spectacular views of the Boulder Bank, Nelson City, Cable Bay, the Horoirangi Marine Reserve and the Western Ranges.
It’s a steep and challenging ascent to the hilltop on both ends of the track, but once you reach the summit, the remainder of the journey is relatively flat. Following the ridgeline from Cable Bay, you’ll see the rugged boulder cliffs that drop sharply to the ocean floor, creating a unique boulder reef environment inhabited by various marine life in the Horoirangi Marine Reserve. Rolling meadows and open farmland transcend gradually into an inland forest, dusted in red bark and shaded by a dense green canopy, before sloping back down the hillside to Glenduan. You can access the track from Airlie Street in The Glen or the left-hand side of the Cable Bay causeway at the end of Cable Bay Road.
