The Bridle Path gives you the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the early settlers of Canterbury, as it was once the only route over the Port Hills from the harbour at Lyttelton. Constructed in 1850, it was used until the Summit Road was completed in 1857. It remains an hours steep climb, but offers fine views of the Heathcote Valley and Christchurch, and Lyttelton on the other side. At the summit of the track there is a Stone Shelter, a memorial to the pioneer women of Canterbury. Parking is available at the car park for the Cavendish Gondola Base Station.
