Lyttelton · Lyttelton

Lyttelton is the port town for Christchurch, set on the steep shore of Whakaraupo, the harbour that fills another drowned volcanic crater on Banks Peninsula. The first Canterbury settlers landed here in 1850 and climbed the Bridle Path over the hills to the plains where Christchurch now stands. Close to the epicentre of the 2011 earthquake, the town was hit hard and has rebuilt around its working port, a lively arts scene and a busy Saturday farmers market.
