The farm gates to privately-owned coastland in Central Hawke's Bay will be opened to the public in a rare move for charity next month.
Now in its third iteration the Omakere School & Community Association will host the Coastal Hill Country Walk in November, which includes taking in stunning farmland in the heart of Omakere.
Organisers say the walk is a "fantastic way to experience the impressive landscapes" of a historic part of the region.
This year's walk will begin at Omakere School, heading out past the Amblethorn kahikatea stand which dates back hundreds of years.

"We then challenge the walkers as we ascend the Omakere Hill, a landmark which can be seen throughout Hawke's Bay, to take in the amazing 365-degree vista."
