Stratford Travel Guide

Stratford accommodation, Stratford activities and attractions, Stratford maps, transportation to and around Stratford - the ALL NEW Jasons Stratford Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Stratford.

Originally known as Stratford-on-Patea to commemorate William Shakespeare's birthplace, the town has many streets named after Shakespearean characters.

Sitting on the banks of the Patea River, Stratford enjoys impressive views of Mount Taranaki/Egmont. The mountain provides a year-round source of recreation, with skiing, hiking, climbing and scenic walks. Trout fishing is popular at the region's rivers and streams, and the town boasts several fine gardens, including Te Popo. South of Stratford, the Taranaki Pioneer Village houses a collection of historic buildings. The Stratford-Taumaranui Heritage Trail also takes in historic sites - a booklet about the trail is available at the visitor centre.
