Bell (pop. 44) and Mount Wilson (pop. 81) are two small towns 14 km apart in the Upper Blue Mountains region of New South Wales. While the former has very little of notable interest except a photogenic train station during the winter, the latter contains several privately-run seasonal botanic gardens that shine during autumn and spring.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
A well-maintained 12 acre garden and with an extensive variety. Although it is open all-year, it like other gardens primarily attracts visitors for the autumn foliage.
A less-visited but quaint historical garden.
A very well-maintained garden popular for its autumn colours and has become a popular photography, wedding and film destination. It is not overly large, but the quality of the garden within the small area is worth the $17.50.
Contains the only eatery in Mt Wilson.
One of the more prominent and larger regional gardens with a diverse range of plants from all over the Blue Mountains.
By train
Bell Station exists as a request stop (meaning you must inform the guard) supposedly to serve the town of Mt Wilson, but there is no public transit connection between Bell and Mt Wilson, which means…
There is no public transit connecting the towns. You will need to drive or cycle, though the latter is incredibly dangerous for the area.
