Travel around Antigua, taking in the natural beauty and visiting must-see landmarks that showcase the island’s history, architecture and culture. Before leaving town, you will stop at the Dow’s Hill Interpretation Center to watch a short but enlightening multimedia show and then pause for photos at the blockhouse that served as a lookout for the British in the 18th century. As you might imagine, the views will be spectacular and you may spot musician Eric Clapton’s home below. Continuing on, you will pass through traditional villages of West Indies-style chattel houses and smallish plazas that present an authentic view of daily life. More sweeping vistas await you at the Shirley Heights Lookout, Antigua’s southernmost point. Nearby, you will find Nelson’s Dockyard Village, a fully restored 18th-century naval base where you will enjoy a drink in an historical inn. Afterwards, you will still have time to admire the sleek yachts while meandering around the marina and shops.
