A riverside seat is valued for the view and the sound of the water, and the best spots have shade and room to sit comfortably. Wildlife such as eels, ducks and swans draws many visitors, but bread should not be fed to them, since it can harm their health. Autumn colour often makes riverbanks more attractive in April and May. When choosing a spot, look for seating close to the water and a path that is easy to walk.
For a quiet break by the river after a walk along Oxford Terrace, it is a spot worth stopping at in central Christchurch.
