[edit] Features
Fitzherbert Ward is mostly rural, mainly along the foothills of the Tararua Ranges. In some instances, Fitzherbert Ward is the gateway to Palmerston North, especially if one is coming from the S (Levin, Shannon) or the SE (Pahiatua).
There is an increasing amount of development in the area especially around Aokautere and Summerhill.
Because of the higher ground on the south bank of the Manawatu, there are spectacular views of the Ruahine Ranges and the northern parts of the city. On a clear day, it is possible to see Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and Taranaki.
