Heritage audio walks and GPS mapping
Take our stories onto the streets. The Prow hosts a range of heritage walks, each being a package which includes a map, both as printable PDF and GPS, a series of stories and links plus a downloadable MP3 compatible audio guide. These packages have been put together by Nelson City Council, and cover various themes and places within the City. We hope to cover more areas soon.
In addition, use the recreation feature in Top of the South Maps to discover more about locations in Nelson/Tasman - places of interest, National Parks and reserves, tracks and dog exercise areas.
