Forces of nature defeated servicemen returned from World War One. Visit the bridge they left behind in the "valley of abandoned dreams".
Getting there
You can reach the Bridge to Nowhere by jet boating or canoeing the Whanganui River from either Pipiriki or Whakahoro to the Mangapurua Landing. From there, it's a gentle 40 minute walk to the bridge site. Alternatively you can tramp or bike from Whakahoro via the Kaiwhakauka and Mangapurua Valleys.
