Eskdale Reserve
A long bush walk along a stream, with kauri overhead and hardly a soul on it midweek.

A thin reserve following the Eskdale Stream, with a well formed track and old kauri above it. Quiet is the selling point. Midweek you'll likely have the birdsong to yourself, which isn't something you can say about many walks this close to the shops. It carries on through to Kaipātiki if you want to keep going.
