A Video Tour

This video gives you a good idea of what touring Anguilla is like. It gives you a feel for just how quiet and peaceful a place it is. The ocean views, the old buildings, the fishing boats, the beaches, the birds, the ever-present wandering goats, the distinctive plant life, and the sunsets all reveal why people come to Anguilla. So, make a coffee, sit back, relax and enjoy.

And if you prefer, there is an short article below giving a written account of a tour of Anguilla, spelling out some of the places you should stop and look at and an explanation what there is to see on this quiet, unique island.

Island Harbour

Further north is Island Harbour, a fishing village and the centre of local lobster catching. In the middle of the Harbour is the tiny picture-perfect Scilly Cay. Photo opportunities are truly excellent here. Continue east and after a slightly bumpy ride on the track you reach Snake Point. Across the water is Scrub Island. The area is deserted and beautiful.

The Heritage Collection Museum - Is This Where I Find The Bay of Piglets?

Back the way you came and turn left down Liberty Road towards the south coast via Mount Fortune you pass through East End Village. On the right you'll see East End Salt Pond. On the opposite side of the road lies the Heritage Collection Museum. There you will find Colville Petty OBE. He is an authority on Anguilla's history. He has written books on the subject and has a fine collection of historical artifacts. Some of these are from ancient settlements of the Arawak Indians. Others are from the time of Anguilla's Revolution. Definitely worth a visit as it allows an revealing look into both Anguilla's recent and ancient past.

Keep heading west on Liberty Road and Long Path Road, past Long Salt Pond and you will find yourself back in The Valley and your tour is over!
