What to See in Wellington Central
Otari-Wilton's Bush
This suburban bush-clad valley is a sanctuary devoted to the preservation and protection of native flora. The gardens are open daily all year round and are especially popular with picnickers and families on the weekends. An extensive range of tracks penetrates the 80 hectares of native bush, the most recent being an innovative treetop walkway affording access to views previously only enjoyed by the birds. Listen carefully and their calls can be heard around you.

Saint Mary of the Angels
Towering over the city, St Mary of the Angels stands out on this prominent central city site. Designed by Frederick de Jersey Clere, St Mary's was the first neo-gothic style building to be constructed from reinforced concrete in 1922. It replaced earlier churches that had stood on the site since January 1843. Come in and view the beautiful stained glass windows, a feature of this church that now has one of the smallest parishes in the city.

Wellington Cathedral of St Paul
Sixty one years went into it's design and building to create one of the largest and most spectacular spaces in New Zealand. Commissioned in the early 1930s it was to be a gothic structure from stone or brick but, after the Napier earthquake, the decision was made to build the cathedral out of reinforced concrete. Cecil Wood the original architect died before the drawings were complete. Successive architects attempted to deviate from his original vision, to disastrous effect.
