Egmont Village rests under the watchful eye of the Pouakai Range, its landscape a gentle embrace of rolling farmland that softens towards the Waiwhakaiho River. It lies 10.2 km south-south-east of New Plymouth (from New Plymouth: bearing 149°T), and is situated 12.5 km south of Bell Block. The air, carrying a faint tang of the sea from the distant Port Taranaki, often hums with the industry of the land, a quiet testament to the fertile ground. Here, the rich, dark earth yields its bounty, a mosaic of green pastures and the occasional splash of colour from carefully tended orchards, all under a sky that frequently displays the dramatic theatre of Taranaki's weather, from soft, diffused light to the sharp, clear brilliance after a storm.

The pulse of Egmont Village beats with a rhythm shaped by generations of agricultural endeavour, its economy deeply rooted in the dairy industry that paints the surrounding hills with contented herds. This is a place where history is not confined to museums but is etched into the very land, in the weathered fences and the enduring spirit of its inhabitants. While the distant roar of waves breaking on the coast is a constant, subtle reminder of its proximity to the ocean, the village itself thrives on the quiet satisfaction of a life lived close to the soil, a steadfast continuation of the pioneering spirit that first settled this corner of Taranaki.
