The Hopwood Clock Tower is a clock tower in the centre of the Square in Palmerston North. It stands among gardens, and reviewers mention its lighting at night. It is a landmark of the city centre, and a place to pass through on a walk around town.
Visitors describe the tower and the gardens around it as worth a stop, especially when passing through the Square. One says it is a good place to sit and rest after shopping. Another jokes that the clock is an irritation, and gives it five stars anyway. For a visit to central Palmerston North, the tower is an easy stop in the middle of the Square.
