This fascinating walk--28 sites outlined in a leaflet available at the Lyttelton Information Centre--chronicles the development of Canterbury's first settlement, following the arrival of the "First Four Ships", and its growth into a thriving harbour town. Where buildings haven't survived the ravages of time, plaques summarise how they appeared in their heyday. Especially noteworthy are Pilgrim's Rock, site of the first jetty and where the Canterbury settlers stepped ashore; the Victorian police station which is the oldest continually-used prison in New Zealand; and the Cemetery, which fans of Peter Jackson's movie, The Frighteners, will recognise.
