Montserrat Top Things To See
• From Richmond Hill, cast your eye over the abandoned capital, Plymouth. The town now lies buried in ash, vanishing a little more each year as mudflows and volcanic debris mount up.
• Trace Montserrat's history at the Oriole Complex, and take a guided tour of the gardens (website: www.montserratnationaltrust.com).
• Make your way to Pelican Point on the east coast, home to the island's only breeding colony of the spectacular frigate birds.
• Look out for the icterus oberi (a species of oriole), Montserrat's national bird, at Centre and Silver Hill in the north of the island.
• Travel by boat to Rendezvous Bay and enjoy the only white (coral) sand beach in Montserrat; sand in the other bays is of volcanic origin and may be grey or black.
• Time your trip to coincide with a friendly football match between the Montserrat national side and a visiting European team.
