Anguilla Top Things To See
• Pop into the impressive Wallblake House, a restored plantation house whose foundations date back to 1787.
• Peer into Anguilla's many grotto-like rock areas and hidden coves, which are dotted all around the island's 30-odd beaches - one to definitely not miss out on is the historic landmark The Fountain, a huge underground cave with a constant supply of fresh water at Shoal Bay.
• Ponder the ruins of the Dutch Fort, built in the 1700s and located at Sandy Hill, famous as the scene of fierce fighting during the second French invasion of Anguilla in 1796, and gaze upon the well-preserved Tomb of Governor Richardson (1679-1742), also in Sandy Hill.
• Take a tour of the Old Salt Mine and Pumphouse at Sandy Ground and see the Salt Ponds at Sandy Ground and West End.
• Visit Sandy Island, 15 minutes from Sandy Ground Harbour, or Sombrero Island, 48km (30 miles) northwest of Anguilla, which has a picturesque lighthouse, for some relaxing solitude; even smaller sandy cays, such as Scrub, Dog and Prickly Pear Islands, are within reach of Anguilla by powerboat.
• See some more of the Caribbean by taking a day trip to nearby St Maarten and St Barthelémy by ferry, cruise boat or aeroplane.
