Located an hour's drive from Christchurch (86 km), the residential town of Ashburton lies midway between the South Island's largest city and Timaru along State Highway 1. The town of about 27,400 people is an important agricultural district in the region and is often a place of transit. Kiwis know it best for its 100% NZ sock manufacturing, a business that has been running since 1901! In case of bad weather, Ashburton's museums can be a fallback: railway museum, aviation museum, car museum, art gallery. For fishermen, the rivers offer salmon and trout.
