Godley Head Carpark

Be careful for driving on the winding and narrow lane. Be aware of cyclists and animals (sheep and hare) ahead. Nice sea views around.

Awesome place to walk

Totally excellent.Lot of interesting tracks to explore here.Camping area and warm time areas closed currently with asbestos risk

Walking tracks and campaign site was so beautiful

Carpark is good for about 20-30 cars, not really any room for large vehicles or caravans etc. toilets right there

The Department of Conservation (DOC) opened a basic campsite at a former military compound at Awaroa/Godley Head, at the entrance to Lyttelton Harbour, in October, 2016. This was a popular camping ground for locals and international tourists. Show casing NZ's fantastic scenery.The walks towards Awaroa/Godley Head and campsite are now closed due to high levels of asbestos nearby. The campsite was also being tested in preparation for upcoming resealing work for the road which also contains hazardous material.Over time, as the road sealant breaks down, these harmful particles become airborne and travel as dust. The dust could be carried indoors on shoes or inhaled. Coal ash and coal tar is known to be carcinogenic with some sealed sections of the road having contamination at a level potentially risky for human health.An alert had been put up on the DOC website and security cameras remain in operation monitoring the area to stop intruders.

Great spot for a break on your bike ride or to start/end many of the walking trails.Panoramic views and just has a good feel" especially if you pick a quieter time.If you have to drive

Amazing historic site to visit and walk around for an hour or two.

Godly heads is such a beautiful place that over looks the Littleton Township. Lots to see and do.. A hikoi with whanau and a bike ride up and around the hills of Sumner And Godly heads.. Definitely not a place to miss or not have on hour to do list.

Just a shame the camp site is still closed other wise the walks and scenery are terrific. Well worth a visit.
