Great place to sit beside, punt or kayak. Fun for all ages. Peaceful area of an otherwise busy town More

Loved the peace and quiet during my punting trip on the Avon. More

after seeing what the earthquake did to christchurch, great place to stop and reflect More

we were shocked at the evidence of the earthquake devastation still after 1 year. so sad. More

Still makes for a pleasant walk, though since it was used as an open sewer after the earthquake, not so keep to paddle the section below the CBD any more. Some slumping of river banks and damage to walking paths as a lot of land damage occurred near the river. More

Astounding, peaceful, wandering, standing on the bridge watching the canoes and ducks. loved the traditional English style boathouses More

This was a lovely 30 minute excursion in Christchurch. The punts are lovely old boats but also very comfortable. They provided blankets to us as the weather was a little cool. The boat sheds are delightful old building with lots of character. The punt ride goes through the botanic garden and was very lovely. More

We are keen joggers and it was great to find this little track along the river so near to our hostel. More

Its lovely to walk along the avon its such a shame there's so much damage near the city end especially the stunning bridges, but thats part and parcel of christchurch at the moment! More
