Brightwater is best known as the birthplace of Ernest Rutherford, the Nobel laureate who first split the atom, and a memorial on the site of his family home marks the spot. The village sits on the Waimea Plains south of Richmond, surrounded by hop gardens, orchards and vineyards. Tasman's Great Taste Trail cycleway runs through, linking it to the wider Nelson and Tasman countryside.
