Te Kiri's Pa
Te Kiri's Pa submitted by DrewParsons : Te Kiri's Pa seen on a sunny winter's day in July 2020 (Vote or comment on this photo)
A Maori Pa located on the new Pakiri Regional Park 120 kilometres north of Auckland city. There are magnificent views from the pa which has small but well preserved defensive terraces on its south western aspect and steep approaches on all other sides. It would have provided an outstanding vantage point from where to survey the territories occupied by the local Ngati Manuhiri people along this sometimes fought over coastline. The name of the pa derives from Ti Kiri, a paramount chief of the Ngati Manuhiri hapu (sub tribe) of the Ngati Wai tribe.

Access: The pa is located on the crest of a ridge at the southern end of the park accessed via M Greenwood Road, an unsurfaced access road running north from the Leigh to Pakiri road. At the end of this access road follow the 20 metre wide fenced grass strip access route along the ridge for approximately a kilometre to reach the pa site.
