21 POST BOX WALKS
Manati Bay
Sharks Valley
This impressive deep valley is a great walk, however more difficult than most. Starting from Level wood, it is one of the only valleys with a constant flowing stream on the island, ending at the rocky valley mouth that opens to the sea, on route you will see banana trees and sightings of wild mangoes.
Thompson Valley
This walks receives its name from the large rocks in the pastures at the top of the valley that are said to resemble tombstones. This walk takes you from green forests, across Ebony Plain and down to barren coastland. There is a relatively well preserved Martello guard tower, battery and canon and coastal defence.
The Barn
This walk is one of the most difficult and should only be attempted by the most experienced walkers. After Traversing Deadwood Plain, the route enters an area of impressive geological features ending on top of a huge volcanic bluff with panoramic views across the east end of the island.
Sugar Loaf
This walk can be taken from Rupert’s or Deadwood Plain, both routes offer a spectacular view and walkers can swim from the rocky beach at Banks’ when the conditions are calm. Most of the walk is above sea cliffs through dry coast-land with some narrow paths.
South West Point
A relatively long walk through the rolling pastures, this walk has great views of Manati Bay, Sperry Island and the Black Rocks. You might also see a number of endemic Wire birds. This trail can also be accessed using 4×4 vehicles that can be driven all the way to the top of the point.
