Cheviot Information
Cheviot is a service town for highway traffic and for a pastoral farming district that is currently predominant in sheep farming.Surrounding locations:
Domett (pronounced Do-Mett) originally a railway town it is now only populated by farms and a petrol station, with the Old Main Road/Hurunui River Mouth Road junction.
Spotswood has an old Hall that is still used regularly, and mainly consists of farms placed around Waiau East Road.
Parnassus is slightly larger than the others. The famous Waiau River road/rail bridge was here, before being abandoned and replaced with a new road bridge.
Gore Bay is a great surfing beach, and has many Summer Beach Houses, along with only 14 permanent residents. There are two local camping grounds, each with great beach access and business. It is a popular New Year's Eve venue. Of note is Cathedral Gully, a spectacular weathered clay canyon.
Once a prospering port, Port Robinson is now just a wreck really. The old wharf may still be seen, but it's rather dangerous.
