Inglewood rests on a broad sweep of fertile land, its horizons softened by the gentle undulations of the Taranaki countryside. It lies 13.2 km south-east of New Plymouth (from New Plymouth: bearing 141°T), and is situated 14.1 km south of Bell Block. The air here carries a crisp, clean quality, often tinged with the earthy scent of damp soil and the distant, sweet perfume of dairy herds grazing in emerald pastures. To the north, the imposing silhouette of the Pouakai Range presides, its slopes a patchwork of deep green native bush and lighter hues of farmland stretching towards the horizon. The land is generous, a canvas of rolling hills and flat plains that eventually give way to the distant, almost ethereal shimmer of Lake Mangamahoe on clearer days, a tranquil expanse reflecting the vast, ever-changing Taranaki sky.

The economic pulse of Inglewood has long been tied to the rich, volcanic soil that defines this region, primarily through robust dairy farming that colours the landscape with its characteristic black and white Holstein Friesians. This agricultural foundation has shaped its character, fostering a sense of grounded industry and quiet prosperity. While the Waiwhakaiho River, a significant waterway for the area, flows some distance away, its influence is felt in the verdant growth that sustains the surrounding farms. The Waiwhakaiho Track, a popular local amenity, offers a pathway for travellers to experience the natural beauty that Inglewood is celebrated for, hinting at a history woven into the land, a story of resilience and connection to the earth.

About This Inglewood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Inglewood, Taranaki, New Zealand at coordinates -39.15824, 174.1802. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch views, the plus and minus buttons to zoom, and Fullscreen to fill the screen.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map with four things the embedded map cannot do. It searches OpenStreetMap for any New Zealand town, suburb or landmark by name. It offers LINZ topographic maps as a base layer — the official Topo250 and Topo50 sheets, switching scale automatically as you zoom, and the standard reference for tramping, hunting and back-country travel. It offers LINZ aerial imagery down to 5cm resolution in urban areas. And it can take a single GPS fix from your device and report your position as both an NZTM2000 grid reference and plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what New Zealand search and rescue services work from. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map itself cannot load.
