Highcliff Track

Stacked stone walls, macrocarpa stands, and regenerating farmland are features of this track and provide a glimpse of what farming on the Otago Peninsula was like in the late 1800s - early 1900s. The walk starts at a small car park on McMeeking Road. A short downhill walk on a gravel road transitions to a grass track which follows a stone stacked wall. The first 400 m of the grass track is a gentle flat walk. Follow the track until you reach the coast to find a stunning view of the Otago coastline. From this point, the track becomes rugged and steep as it descends to sea level, where it joins Braidwood Track. Braidwood Track is managed by the Dunedin City Council. The Dunedin City Council also manage Buskin Track and Paradise Track which can be combined with Braidwood and Highcliff Track to extend the walk.
