Lyttelton is a port town located on the north shore of Lyttelton Harbour on Banks Peninsula, 12 km by road from Christchurch. The town is linked to Christchurch by railway and road tunnels through the Port Hills. At 1900 m long, the Lyttelton Road Tunnel (opened in 1964) is the country's longest road tunnel, and the railway tunnel is the country's oldest, dating from 1867.
