The best bike routes in Nelson Region
Nelson to Richmond (Tour Aotearoa)
Cycling route in Nelson, Nelson Region, New Zealand
Roll out from sunny Nelson and follow the separated cycleway to Richmond. It’s a short, smooth link on the TA—mostly paved, mostly flat—with a couple of gentle rises. Expect light traffic and plenty of cafes at both ends. You’ll skirt the Waimea estuary and suburban parks before cruising into Richmond, a handy resupply spot and gateway to Tasman’s trails.
