This 30-acre reserve comprises native bush and historic buildings, bordered by the Avon River. Learn about local history as you walk through the bush and visit the homesteads. Find out about the early settlement of Christchurch, and pioneers such as William and John Deans who built their cottage here in 1843. Native birds are plentiful and some of the bush has been here for hundreds of years. An information brochure provides good historical detail and will add to your visit. This unique site is merely 3.5 kilometres from the city centre.
