Kororipo Pā at Kerkikeri

Kororipo Pā is set on the hills above the Kerikeri Inlet. Although very little remains today, it is possible to see its earth trenches and the walls from when the Pā would have been fortified in the 1770s. It is located only 5 minutes from central Kerikeri, and from the Pā the Kerikeri Mission Station is clearly visible.

In this video series looking at the Aotearoa New Zealand History , we aim to present the places as they are . We understand that it is not possible to tell the many complex stories of a location with one video, rather we want to make these places available to be visited virtually.

This is one of the sites of the New Zealand Land Wars Waikato driving tour. For more information about this site, we have collected some resources which can be used to understand more context:
