New Plymouth is the port and main city in the Taranaki region on the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is named after Plymouth, Devon, England, from where the first English settlers came. The city is a service centre for the region's principal economic activities including intensive pastoral activities (mainly dairy farming) as well as oil, natural gas and petrochemical exploration and production. Notable features are the botanic gardens (eg Pukekura Park), the 7 km (4.3 mi) coastal walkway alongside the Tasman Sea, the Len Lye-designed 45-metre (150 ft) tall artwork known as the Wind Wand, and views of Mount Taranaki (also known as Mount Egmont).
