A short, sharp climb up the side of the hill in Marlborough's Leatham Valley country, the Wye Route is brief but rewarding. As you gain height, the track opens out to stunning views across the Leatham Valley below, making the modest distance well worth the effort. It's a good option if you're after a quick detour with a big visual payoff rather than a long expedition. Suited to 4WD vehicles, the route delivers an enjoyable hill climb with scenery as the main draw. Take a moment at the top to soak in the outlook over the valley before heading back down.
