Bells Track Walk

Reviewed By Charlotteparkerrr

It was a steep walk, but the view at the top was amazing. You could see over to Ohariu Valley, all the way to the South Island, or over into Wellington Harbour. Make sure you pick a day with good weather, as it can get quite windy at the top. I would recommend wearing comfy shoes, athletic wear, and a warm hoodie overtop.
