Littleton is a port town on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, part of the Christchurch City Council area, and located on the shores of Littleton Harbour at the entrance to the Banks Peninsula, this small town by the sea is an important gateway to Christchurch, and a historic town on the Cook Strait coast. As one of the main landing points for European settlers in the 19th century, Littleton retains Victorian architecture and colonial relics such as the century-old Littleton Tunnel, New Zealand's oldest transportation tunnel, which connects the town to Christchurch to this day. Blessed with a deep water harbor that once supplied Antarctic research vessels, and surrounded by mountains and blue water, hiking trails such as the Littleton Harbor Trail offer panoramic views that appeal to nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The town is small but combines harbor energy, history and pristine scenery, making it a hidden gem for exploring the east coast of New Zealand's South Island.
