3 . Many people are a little scared by the term “mountain biking” because they think it implies the need for extreme physical fitness or some kind of death wish. But in actual fact there are different forms of mountain biking, some of which provide a great chance to get out in the great outdoors and enjoy the main attraction that brings people to New Zealand-the beauty of nature.

Downhill Mountain Biking

Downhill mountain biking is one of the craziest sport in New Zealand, and the one which will likely appeal most to New Zealand adventure travel tourists. It can be extremely dangerous. If you haven’t tried it before, stick to a small track without a steep incline, and make sure you wear the correct safety gear such as a helmet and chest plate.

Long Distance Mountain Biking

Many New Zealanders treat mountain biking as a serious sport and many also use it as their primary way of keeping fit. Compared to many other countries, a cross-country tour by bike is relatively easy and safe on New Zealand roads. However, if you want to push yourself physically and experience parts of New Zealand which are “off the beaten trail,” a mountain bike trek may be ideal for you.

Scenic Mountain Biking

You can experience the freedom of mountain biking through the New Zealand landscape even if you aren’t particularly adventurous or fit. In fact, if you have the time, biking is one of the best ways to see the country. You can get a taste of some of the easier, flatter trails through the National Parks and forests. The wine-growing regions are also good areas for guided scenic bike tours. These areas tend to be relatively flat and have a good climate for enjoying some open outdoors.

4 . Stops on a Literary Tour

A sign in the window of the Elephant House indicates it is Harry Potter’s birthplace. Author JK Rowling spent fateful hours completing Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone there-the first book in the series. It’s still a cafe and you can still drop in for a cappuccino and a sandwich, a pizza or a plate of sausage. (https://elephanthouse.biz)

Though the Georgian city of Bath, with its Roman Baths and UNESCO World Heritage status, proudly claims Jane Austen as a favorite resident, Jane was actually unhappy there. Jane was happier in Chawton Cottage, where she published one of her most famous novels-Pride and Prejudice.(https://janeaustens.house)

The most famous writer in the English language- arguably the most famous writer in the world-is better known through his works than through his biographical details. Fans in search of the poet can visit his hometown, Stratford-upon-Avon. (https://www.rsc.org.uk)

If, like the 19th-century Romantic poet William Wordsworth, the sight of a field of golden daffodils(水仙花)has ever cheered your lonely hours，visit Dove Cottage in Grasmere. It was on a walk with Dorothy in the Lake District countryside nearby that he spotted the famous field of nodding flowers that inspired his poem, Lonely as a Cloud, known by most people simply as The Daffodils.(https://wordsworth.org.uk)
