Stratford (Whakaahurangi) sits in the shadow of Mt Taranaki, the only town in New Zealand with a glockenspiel clock tower, where Romeo and Juliet appear four times a day. Named for Shakespeare's birthplace, its streets carry the names of his characters, from Prospero to Juliet. It is the seat of the Stratford District and the starting point of the Forgotten World Highway, which winds east through the back country from here.
