The great mass of Godley Head divides Taylors Mistake from Lyttelton Harbour. From the top of Godley Head there are magnificent views of the ocean and Banks Peninsula, and there are a number of mountain bike tracks and walkways throughout the area, suited to most levels of fitness. Truly intriguing are the concrete bunkers and narrow tunnels running down the hillside, constructed during the Second World War to secure the harbor against a potential attack. The shortest walk to these bunkers is from the Godley Head car park.
