Named after the Wilkies brothers who farmed locally, this series of natural plunge pools were formed by the scouring action of sand and gravel against lava 20,000 years old. The water running through the pools is crystal clear. The walk to the pools gradually inclines it’s way through the Goblin forest. With nothing but green in every direction you look, the magnificent surroundings then spoil your eyes with views of Mt Taranaki and the Kapuni Stream. After shooting the pools you can continue on the 2km loop trail with small waterfalls and bubbling springs as just a few of the highlights. Although more off the beaten track than the path to get to the pools, the loop back is lots of fun and adds to the adventure of visiting Wilkies Pools. (Stratford, New Zealand)
