Ascot Street

Thorndon, Wellington, New Zealand
Tel: +64 0(4) 802 4860 (Visitor Information Centre)
 

In the heart of historic Thorndon, Ascot Street is a delightful, if solitary, remnant of the charm of early Wellington before the construction of the motorway cut a swathe through the northern suburbs. In the style of many of Wellington's early streets, a narrow entrance gives way to a pedestrian lane providing access to a delightful settlement of 19th century houses clinging to the surrounding hillsides. A detour here is not to be missed at any cost.
