Just because the earthquakes destroyed so much of Christchurch, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t still plenty of walks and hikes in the region. In fact, we’ve been out walking Christchurch and have reviewed some of the best, like Godley Head, Halswell Quarry and the Bridle Path just to name a few. So whether you’re from Christchurch or just visiting, make sure you check out our walks chch below.

There’s no need to leave the city…

Christchurch has some excellent options right in its centre. The Avon River walk provides a lovely stroll, while Hagley Park is perfect for a longer hike. Both offer beautiful views of the Avon River and plenty of chances to take in the fresh air.
