World's Largest Horseshoe-shaped Town
New Plymouth is the World's Largest Horseshoe. It doesn't own this horseshoe; rather, it is shaped like one. The blvd. mimics the general shape of a horseshoe. Although a small town (1,400 people), it is cute and does have a gas station. Just to annoy the kids while driving through, force them to enjoy the short trip that outlines the horseshoe.
