Whittle Road

4WD track in the Hawke's Bay region

Whittle Road is an easy Hawke's Bay gravel climb to a 1000-metre lookout with far-reaching views.

(2)

A gravel climb up into the hills, this one tops out over 1000 metres at a lookout with far-reaching views. It's a well-maintained farmers' road, easy enough and driveable for most vehicles in the dry.

The road narrows as it climbs and has some fairly steep sections, so a 2WD on street tyres may not be the go when it's wet. Up around the lookout there's a little play area worth a stop to take in the panorama.
