Castle Hill Access Track

New Zealand > Canterbury

Exceptional trail

Length

5km

Duration

2h

Elev gain

242m


A very special loop starting at the bottom of Kura Tawhiti conservation area a bit more than an hour away from Christchurch. The trail begins at the Castle Hill car park and follows a moderately inclined trail to castle Hill. The rock formations are particularly numerous and impressive, the boulders dotting the land are oddly shaped, some even seem to fold like fabric. The trail is surrounded by beautiful mountain views all around as well.
