This steep track (two hours return) is named after Major Thomas Hornbrook, a nineteenth century businessman credited with the dubious honour of opening Canterbury's first grog shop. Legendary sheep stealer, James Mackenzie, was recaptured on this track after escaping from the Lyttelton gaol in 1855. From the top of Day's Road, Lyttelton, the track zigzags steeply up the flanks of the Port Hills, through patches of native bush and open tussock faces. From the open ground there are superb views of Lyttelton Harbour and the hills of Banks Peninsula. The track ends at Hornbrooks Pass where there are remnants of military installations.
