Interesting facts about this location
Lyttelton road tunnel
The Lyttelton road tunnel links the New Zealand city of Christchurch and its seaport, Lyttelton. It opened in 1964 and carries just over 10,000 vehicles/day. While the tunnel itself was not closed for long after the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, the Heathcote tunnel canopy has been demolished, and the Tunnel Control Building that has a Category I heritage classification by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust has suffered significant damage.

Mount Cavendish
Mount Cavendish is located in the Port Hills. It affords spectacular views of Christchurch, New Zealand and Lyttelton. It is part of the crater wall of the extinct volcano that formed Lyttelton Harbour, and the peak itself is one of the notable features that give the rugged skyline of the crater rim its dramatic quality. The Mount Cavendish Reserve displays some of the best examples of lava flow to be seen on the Port Hills.

It was constructed in 1850 as a bridle path for leading horses, and was used by the early European settlers as a route from the port to new settlements on the northern side of the Port Hills.
