## In its own listing

The bridleway between Governor's Bay and Allandale was originally constructed by prisoners from Lyttelton Gaol. Today it is a gentle 3.5km walk or cycle around the head of Lyttelton Harbour giving excellent views right out to the heads and Pacific Ocean. The walk can be started at either the Governor's Bay jetty or the Allandale Reserve. Parking is easier at the Allandale end where there is also a picnic area and toilet.
