About
Providing views out over the Hauraki Gulf, the Coromandel Peninsula and Great and Little Barrier Islands, Moirs Hill (358 metres) is reached via a two hour return tramp along the Moirs Hill Walkway, directly off State Highway One, a few kilometres before Warkworth. From the car park the track ascends through magnificent stands of northern rata and mamaku, ponga and wheki tree ferns. Due to the moist nature of the forest, the track can be muddy but this is compensated by the abundance of ferns, vines and mosses.
