A few million years ago, Lttyleton Volcano spewed out molten lava that flowed down the slopes to the harbour below. Today, the volcano lies dormant but its legacy of amazing rock formations lives on. The Crater Rim Walkway is a great way to explore these rocks, not to mention enjoy magnificent views of Banks Peninsula, Lyttleton Harbour, Christchurch City and the Canterbury Plains. Commencing at the Sign of the Takeha (just above Dyers Pass Road), the walkway also provides access to remnants of native forest and areas where replanting of native and exotic trees has occurred. Pick up a Department of Conservation guide at the Christchurch Visitors Centre to work out how much of the walk you want to complete--at 17 kilometers, many people only tackle a small section at a time.
