Antigua Activities Hiking and Bird watchingHiking has not been much developed as an organized activity, although Antigua has many trails and tracks that are well suited to it. Most of the popular hikes lead to one or another of the island's many hilltop fortifications: Fort George sits atop Monk's Hill, and Fort Barrington (captured by the French in 1666) is on the promontory at Deep Bay. The Historical and Archaeological Society frequently arranges group hikes. Much of the appeal of the natural environment in Antigua and Barbuda is the multitude of bird species to be found there. The Frigate Bird Sanctuary on Barbuda, though accessible only by boat, is the largest bird sanctuary in the Caribbean and contains over 170 species; Long Island and Great Bird Island also offer outstanding opportunities for birdwatchers. Fishing and HuntingSport fishing, bonefish in Barbuda's Codrington Lagoon, hunting of deer, boar, various game fowl on Barbuda. Licenses and gun permits must be obtained in Codrington Village. The Antigua and Barbuda Annual Sport Fishing Tournament is held in May of each year.
RidingThere are several stables in Antigua. Arrangements for riding can be made through your hotel. Shirley HeightsSituated on the southeastern tip of Antigua overlooking the Nelson's Dockyard, Shirley Heights was formerly one of Antigua's most important defensive positions. It is now one of the prime sightseeing spots and, on Sunday evenings, a famous party spot.
Nelson's Dockyard
Named after Admiral Horatio Nelson, this port was used as shelter from hurricanes and a a repair yard. As its importance grew Forts were built for protection and the English used it as a station during the fortification of English harbor. Today it is a must for sightseeing purposes and ocean going yachts moor up to the seawall.
DOWS HILL: A modern way to experience history Most historic sites of places of interest are recognized for one specific reason or occasion. DOWS HILL - now home to Antigua's historic Interpretation Centre, is one exception. The site, in the words of many historians, "sleeps with history". This hill, which offers a panoramic view taking in most of what we call the national park was originally owned by Archibald Dow; an employee of the Royal Naval Dockyard. No sooner had Mr. Dow build his modest house than the British Government requisitioned its property and constructed a small fort. Mr. Dow's house (the ruins of which serve as the base for the viewing platform of Belvedere) was enlarged and housed the commanding officer. When peace, or at least some semblance of its finally came to the high seas the fort, like many others, was abandoned. Some years later, carpenters and masons once again made their way up Dows Hill. "Enlarge the House!" they were told. "It was to become the residence of the Governor of the Leeward Islands." An historic church service was held within those walls. Historic, not because of the occasion or the date but because of the participants. the Governor had ordered that this entire household should be present, meaning that, together with his friends and family sat his slaves and servants. An interracial church service was unheard of at that time. In 1843 an earthquake shook Antigua and it is believed that the abandoning of the Governor's residence was due to resulting damages. The hill remained quiet and untouched until N.A.S.A. decided to place a receiving dish amidst the ruins. Many claim that when astronaut Armstrong spoke his famous words on the moon, the signal was received, first at Dows Hill and later transmitted to mission control and the rest of the world. Having served its purpose, the site was once again abandoned. It wasn't until a few years ago that the ruins at Dow's Hill were unearthed and stabilized and its past investigated. The ruins have been left for all to explore and experience, while another building was constructed (designed in-keeping with the romance of the area) to house the state of the art, multimedia presentation. You'll travel through the corridors of time in 15 minutes; meet an Amerindian, say hello to Columbus and sit with Lord Nelson as he keeps watch for those enemy ships. As time rolls on you'll see some of our more renowned heroes like 'Father of the Nation', the former Prime Minister the Right Honourable Vere Cornwall Bird and Dr. Vivian Richards, cricket star/sports figure the world over. Be sure to visit Dows Hill Interpretation Centre and experience history in a modern way.
