825 Summit Road, Heathcote Valley, Lyttelton, Christchurch City
When they arrived in 1850, the Bridle Path provided the first Canterbury Settlers with access from the port at Lyttelton to the site of Christchurch. The journey over the hill on this path has become symbolic of the challenges faced by the settlers. At the top, where the Bridle Path crosses the Summit Road, is a memorial to the pioneer women. The Bridle Path can be a mountainbike route but its steepness means that it is one for experienced riders. The Bridle Path crosses the Christchurch Scenic Route.
