After a long day of excitement, you can also take a dip in the natural hot pools of the Alpine Springs!
Christchurch Christchurch Christchurch was founded in 1850 by members of the Church of England, who wanted a little bit of heaven on earth. They succeeded, and today the city takes great pride in its spacious layout and distinctive English-style buildings in elegant grey stone. The River Avon winds through Christchurch, along parks and gardens that cover one-third of the city.	Destination Guide
