ERT, Wellington

Wednesday, November 7, 2018

This part of Wellington is good for young families, being quite close to several local primary and secondary schools. Quiet, largely traffic-free (although school drop-offs can clog the local roads), and low levels of anti-social behaviour. A car is needed for a trip to the local shops. Apley Wood is a short walk away, which is great for exercising the legs (and mind).
