Thorndon Creative and Historic Cottages Walk

map by Chris Cochran

Walk between the Randell Writers' Cottage, the Lilburn House and the garden at the Rita Angus Cottage.

Walk between the Randell Cottage (14 St Mary Street), the Lilburn House (22 Ascot St) and the garden at the Rita Angus Cottage (194a Sydney Street West).

All of these will be holding open days (separately listed). Pick up a map at any of the three cottages to guide your walk through a charming and historic part of Thorndon.

Health & Safety

Although the walk is technically suitable for wheelchairs, the walk between the Lilburn House and the Rita Angus Cottage (down Ascot St) is quite steep.

The walk may be cancelled in bad weather (and this will be announced on the relevant websites before midday). Other Open Day activities at the Lilburn House will continue as planned, and a limited programme will be provided at the Randell Cottage.
