Guide to Nelson

map
The oldest settled city on new Zealand's South Island, Nelson lies to the north east of Richmond, and is surrounded by beaches, mountains, as well as the national parks of Abel Tasman, Kuhrangi and the Nelson Lakes. It's also well known for its unique and extensive caves systems, which are largely unexplored. It has a total population of 60,000 people living in its urban area. Don't miss its vibrant crafts scene, including the Goldsmiths where the famous "One Ring" from the Lord of the Rings films was made.
