| Description |
From the Gibraltar Rock car park, follow Prendergasts Track a short distance to the track map and the deer fence gate. Go through the deer fence gate and after 20m take the track labelled Gibraltar Rock, on the right, to a second lower gate. Go through this gate and follow the track up the fence line. After 20m, turn right at the signpost to Stone Wall Track and follow this around the open tussock grasslands beneath Gibraltar Rock. Enjoy the spectacular views across the Canterbury Plains and out to the Southern Alps. Carry on straight to see the historic Old Stone Wall. Observe forest regeneration along this section of the track where tall gorse is being naturally replaced by a varied ecosystem of native plants and animals. At the bottom of the Stone Wall Track, turn left and walk for 10 minutes to reach the junction with Kirks Track. Check the map here and decide how you would like to return to the car park. |
