• Betty’s Hope - Established around 1650, Betty’s Hope was Antigua’s first sugar plantation. Like many other West Indian sugar estates, it now lies in ruins. Governor Keynell founded Betty’s Hope, and after his death in 1663, his widow inherited the estate. However, she had to flee Antigua during the French occupation in 1666.

Today, although the restoration project is ongoing, visitors can enjoy new and enhanced exhibits, explore a trail system to view the exposed ruins and local flora, relax on picnic benches, and benefit from interpretive signage and self-guided brochures detailing the monument’s full history.

• Devil’s Bridge - Devil’s Bridge is a natural rock arch located on the eastern coast of Antigua, near Indian Town Point, east of Willikies. The area around the arch features several natural blowholes that spray water powered by the Atlantic Ocean waves. This site is exposed to waves driven by the Trade Winds, with no land between it and Europe. In 2008, it was designated a National Park.

• Nelson’s Dockyard - In the early 18th century, the British Royal Navy recognized the strategic importance of English Harbour for protecting ships from hurricanes and monitoring French naval activity from its southern island position.

Today, Nelson’s Dockyard offers numerous sites and activities for visitors to explore and enjoy.

• Shirley Heights - Named after former governor Sir Thomas Shirley, Shirley Heights offers a stunning bird’s-eye view of the island, overlooking English Harbour and Galleon Beach.

• Fig Tree Drive - This winding and steep countryside road takes you through a rainforest rich in foliage, plants, mangoes, pineapples, banana trees (“fig” is the Antiguan word for “banana”), and more.

• Dow’s Hill Interpretation Centre - (Optional Stop - Time Permitting) Dow’s Hill provides views of the first European settlements on Antigua, established in the early 17th century, and the fortifications surrounding Nelson’s Dockyard. The hill was part of Archibald Dow’s estate, the civilian storekeeper at the dockyard, who built a house there in 1732. The land was acquired from Dow in 1789 for £8,354 to construct fortifications to protect the ridgeline from landward attacks.

• Darkwood Beach - (Time Permitting ONLY) Darkwood Beach boasts some of the most vibrant seas and white sands on the island, set against a backdrop of hilltops and tropical forestry. The panoramic views are spectacular, and on a clear day, Montserrat is visible. As one of the longest stretches of beach, there is ample space to enjoy the warm, inviting sea and pristine sands, offering plenty of reasons to visit.
