Walking
Wellies is a fantastic city to walk around. Walk on the left side of the footpath, leave room for others on narrow pathways, catch a bus if you want to rest your legs. check out the laneways in town: these are great to explore. Our favourite is Leeds Street - Goldings free dive, Pompordoro pizza, Leeds Street bakery and Wellington Chocolate factory
