Devonport, New Zealand
Devonport (/ˈdɛvənpɔːrt/ DEV-ən-port) is a harbourside suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. It is located on the North Shore, at the southern end of the Devonport Peninsula that runs southeast from near Lake Pupuke in Takapuna, forming the northern side of the Waitematā Harbour. East of Devonport lies North Head, the northern promontory guarding the mouth of the harbour.
The suburb hosts the Devonport Naval Base of the Royal New Zealand Navy, the main facility for the country's naval vessels, but is also known for its harbourside dining and drinking establishments and its heritage charm. Devonport has been compared to Sausalito, California, US due to its setting and scenery.
Devonport is named after the English naval town of Devonport.
Eastern Devonport is known as Cheltenham, named after the English town of Cheltenham.
Devonport is a peninsula at the mouth of the Waitematā Harbour on the North Shore of Auckland. It is surrounded by Ngataringa Bay to the northwest, the Waitematā Harbour mouth to the south, and the Rangitoto Channel of the Hauraki Gulf to the east.
The suburb of Stanley Point can be found to the west of Devonport, while the suburbs of Narrow Neck and Vauxhall are found to the north. The northwestern section of Devonport is located at Duders Point, a peninsula within Ngataringa Bay.
The suburb has three beaches: Devonport Beach and Duders Beach to the south, and Cheltenham Beach to the northeast.
Devonport is home to three volcanoes of the Auckland volcanic field: Takarunga / Mount Victoria, Maungauika / North Head and Takararo / Mount Cambria. Of these three volcanoes, Maungauika / North Head is the oldest, estimated to have last erupted around 87,500 years ago. Takaroro / Mount Cambria and Takarunga / Mount Victoria are estimated to have last erupted 42,300 and 34,800 years ago respectively. Takarunga / Mount Victoria is the taller of the volcanoes, reaching a height of 81 metres (266 ft), with Maungauika / North Head reaching a height of 65 metres (213 ft). Takararo / Mount Cambria formerly stood at a height of 30 metres (98 ft), but was quarried in the 1870s. Another scoria cone, the 20 metres (66 ft) high Duders Hill, believed to be a section of Takarunga / Mount Victoria, was quarried in the early 20th century.
