What better way
to see inner Christchurch than Punting the tranquil water of the Avon River.
Past the historic Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings, where
building commenced in 1859 and was designed by the Architect of the day B.W.
Mountfort. A start to the many other buildings that have risen from a
prosperity of Wool and Wheat. |
| Cathedral
Square
|
Completed in
1904 the Christ Church Cathedral is the main attraction in the Square. The
tall copper-sheathed spire of this English Gothic cathedral rises 65.5
metres above the square. A stroll through the building to the Bell Ringers
Vestry will take you back in time to a display of plaques and
commemorations. |

Town Crier
|
The inner city is a
special place to explore and with so many things to see and do, a
historic ride on the Christchurch Tramway will not only take you there but
provide a wealth of information. The Town Crier may even tell you the news
of the day. What's more you can stop off and pop back on all for the price
of just one ticket. |

Treat Yourself
|
