Ranking: 10/10
A short train ride from the centre of Wellington. Reasonably challenging ascent but incredible views across Wellington and to the South Island. Can walk along part of the Te Araroa Trail and back down to the train station a different way. You can really tailor it for how long you want to walk as loads of options!
