The World War Two coastal battery first opened to the public in 1989 and will be accessible between 10am and 4pm. On King’s Birthday people are invited to self-guide themselves through the tunnels and gun emplacements. The walk usually takes about one hour, so bring a torch with you for some fun! Visitors will be able to explore the 620 metres of underground tunnels with a free map and history pamphlet. They will see the engine room, shell stores, plotting rooms and the huge gun pit where Gun Number 1 used to stand, as well as a replica of the 10 metre-long gun barrel. events karori places heritagebuildings localhistory Sat, 25 May 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wrightshillfortress.org.nz/2024/05/26/kings-birthday-2024/ Wrights Hill Fortress 2024-05-25T00:00:00Z -41.2958474 174.7388675 Wright's Hill Fortress, Wrights Hill Road, Karori, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6012, New Zealand https://wrightshillfortress.org.nz/2024/01/22/waitangi-day-2024-open-day/ Wellington’s historic Wrights Hill Fortress in Karori will be open for public inspection again on Waitangi Day, TUESDAY, February 6th.
