Discover Canterbury explores this historically fascinating and scenically spectacular part of New Zealand from the civilised serenity of Chritchurch, New Zealand's most charming city, to the wild grandeur of the High Country, where Nature has more untamed and varied face than anywhere else in the country. Discover Canterbury paints a portrait, in words and pictures, of one of New Zealand's most interesting regions, a province of contrasts in wich are to be found New Zealand's largest area of flat land, the Canterbury Plains, as well as its highest mountain, Mount Coook or Aorangi. Canterbury and Christchurch are very different places from the English cathedral town and university college wich gave them their names and "pilgrims" to this modern-day Canterbury of the South pacific will find not a transplanted slice of England but a broad region with its own character and fascinations.
