Christchurch 360 Trail

The Christchurch 360 Trail is a work in progress with official opening 3 October 2015. Presently, the official trail excludes a section near McLeans Island due to no formed footpath next to the road. In future, sections may be adjusted and shortened. Also, some rerouting may take place as walking infrastructure improves. 

The walk may be started at any point, and undertaken in either direction but is described as an anticlockwise circuit of the city, by convention. There is no provision for overnight accommodation along the trail.
