Overview

Baring Head Lighthouse Walk
The Baring Head Lighthouse Walk is a must-visit for those interested in the history and natural beauty of Wellington. The 6km return walk starts from the Wainuiomata car park and offers panoramic views across the Cook Strait and the distant Kaikoura Ranges. Along the trail, visitors can explore WWII-era bunkers and enjoy the unique geological formations. The lighthouse itself is a significant historical and functional landmark, standing 12.2 metres tall and powered by a solar-powered LED beacon. The area is part of a conservation effort, with ongoing restoration work including the refurbishment of the lighthouse keepers’ cottages and plans to transform the old powerhouse into a visitor centre. New trails are also being developed to highlight the site’s rich history and ecological importance.
