Welcome to the beautiful town of Lyttelton Christchurch
A town on the steep sides of an extinct volcano looking over the port at Lyttelton Harbour. A short 20minute drive from the city centre of Christchurch via the road tunnel through the Port Hills.
Banks Peninsula is a volcanic island, built of lava from two craters situated in what are now upper reaches of Lyttelton and Akaroa harbours. Erosion and changes at the end of the last Ice Age resulted in the drowning of both craters.
