It is named after Plymouth, Devon, England, from where the first English settlers came. The city is a service centre for the region's principal economic activities including intensive pastoral activities (mainly dairy farming) as well as oil, natural gas and petrochemical exploration and production. It is also the region's financial centre as the home of the TSB Bank (formerly the Taranaki Savings Bank), the only non-government New Zealand-owned bank. New Plymouth's population is approximately 51,000. Notable features are the botanic gardens (eg Pukekura Park), the 7km coastal walkway alongside the Tasman Sea, the Len Lye-designed 45 metre tall artwork known as the Wind Wand, and views of Mount Taranaki (also known as Mount Egmont). It is also noted for being a coastal city with a mountain within 30 minutes drive, where residents and visitors to New Plymouth can snowboard, ski, water ski and surf all in the same day. read full wikipedia reference about New Plymouth, New Zealand OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN NEW ZEALANDAuckland Bay of Islands Blenheim Christchurch Coromandel Dunedin Fox Glacier Greymouth Hamilton Hokitika Kaikoura Mount Cook Napier Nelson New Plymouth Paihia Queenstown Rotorua Taupo Teanau Wanaka Wanganui Wellington Whangarei |
