More information on Oxford Terrace

To see why Christchurch is considered one of the world's loveliest cities, you need only walk along Oxford Terrace as it follows the course of the Avon River through the central city. Begin at the Bridge of Remembrance, and move along the zone of cafes, bars and nightclubs that residents now call "The Strip". You will pass the statue of doomed Antarctic explorer, Robert Scott, before crossing elegant Victoria Square. Shortly, you will reach the poplar crescent, where tall trees line both sides of the river.
