The Cape Egmont Lighthouse stands proudly at the end of Cape Road, marking the western-most point of Taranaki.
Built in London and shipped to New Zealand in 1865, the lighthouse was originally installed near Wellington before being moved to Taranaki in 1881. Its reconstruction was delayed by the passive resistance movement at nearby Parihaka, in protest at the confiscation of their lands.
