Craigmore rock art

Many of the most significant rock-art sites are on private property. The extraordinary images at Craigmore, South Canterbury, are on farmland owned by the Elworthy family. This video shows the site and the processes put in place since the 1980s to preserve the artworks while making them accessible to the public.
