Mt. Cambria Reserve is a nature reserve at 47A Vauxhall Rd, Devonport, Auckland, with a Google rating of 4.5. The listing links to the Auckland Council parks and recreation pages, which is a good place to check current information.
A good nature reserve protects native plants, birds and landforms, while giving people a safe, pleasant way to enjoy them. Stay on formed tracks, since off-track walking damages roots and soil, and take your rubbish home. Many Auckland reserves ask walkers to keep dogs on leads or leave them at home, and to clean shoes at any kauri dieback stations, to help prevent the spread of disease. Volcanic cones like those around Devonport often have steps and slopes, so wear sturdy shoes and bring water. Regulars visit early in the morning, when birdsong is at its best, carry a light jacket and take a moment at the top to enjoy the views.
For people in Devonport and across the North Shore, Mt. Cambria Reserve is a green space for a short walk, and the council website has the current rules.
