Nowadays, people equate New Zealand with The Lord of the Rings. But New Zealand is much more than just a filming location for an epic trilogy. It’s a place full of fun activities, a riveting history, and natural wonders. The town of Greytown in this country is no exception. Known for its Victorian architecture and tree-lined avenues, it was given the title of New Zealand’s Most Beautiful Small Town in 2017.
You could immerse yourself in its history by visiting the Cobblestones Museum, and then shop and dine at top-notch restaurants nearby. Stay fit by cycling up and down the 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) Greytown Woodside Trail, or plan a visit to the Kahikatea Gardens full of plants and animals.
