Walsingham Jungle:
This area is the first part of Bermuda that was formed and is full of magic, history and many caves. Walk by a peaceful lagoon, into caves willed with staletites, along mangrove lowlands, past Tom Moore’s Tavern and through paths covered with natural arches.
This tour requires some physical assertion. Comfortable and slip proof shoes should be worn, and something that you don’t mind getting a little dirty.
Spittal Pond:
This is Bermuda’s largest nature reserve – covering some 64 acres. The reserve hugs the shore and its centre is the 8 acre Spittal Pond. The reserve is temporary home to a multitude of migratory birds.
Walk past endemic plants past the pond. A visit to the ‘Checkerboard’, a most unusual geological formation on the coastline. A visit to ‘Portuguese Rock’, where there is the earliest sign of humans in Bermuda. The initials ‘RP’ and date ‘1543’ were inscribed here.
The coast is rocky and ‘raw’, giving another view of Bermuda not often seen.
Comfortable clothing and shoes should be worn.
Fort Scaur and Heydon Trust:
The walk begins at Fort Scaur which offers beautiful views of Ely’s Harbour and the South as well as the Great Sound.
A walk along the railway trail and the Great Sound is a peaceful and interesting ‘get away’. Past gardens and houses, you will get a view of Bermuda from ‘the other side’.
The walk leads to Heydon Trust, where a tour of the property leads past the Chapel, the original main house, a cedar tree that survived our scale of the 40’s (which killed 99% of our cedar trees) and is draped with Spanish Moss, rose gardens and endemic plants.
The walk returns to Fort Scaur.
