Springfield

Springfield, Canterbury, is recognised as 'the gateway to the Southern Alps'. The Great Alpine Highway provides one of the most direct routes from coast to coast.

Springfield has a long association with the Midland railway line.

The town has a Gothic revival church dedicated to St Peter, designed by the architect Cyril Mountfort. It was the birthplace of Rewi Alley, notable for his work in China in the mid 20th century.

On July 15, 2007, a non-edible giant pink doughnut was erected to promote the upcoming movie, The Simpsons Movie.
