More about filming Narnia.

Los Angeles film company Wimbleweather shot the opening scenes of Prince Caspian in the seaside township of Hahei, 56km north of Whangamata. The set for the ruins of the castle Cair Paravel was built on the nearby Hereherataura Peninsula, overlooking Cathedral Cove. This scenic crescent of white sand is famous for its dramatic natural rock arch. You can reach the cove via the Hahei Coastal Walkway, a hilly walk (45min) that starts off Hahei Beach Road and leads along bush-lined ridges, affording sweeping seaviews along the way.
