Wallings Nature Reserve

About

Nestled in Antigua's lush rainforest, Wallings Nature Reserve invites you to explore the island's vibrant fauna and flora, and is a burgeoning attraction. As you navigate the rugged paths through the rainforest, you'll encounter a rich variety of trees including silk cotton, hog plum, sand box, and the striking strangler fig tree. For a unique perspective of the island, take on the Wallings Dam to Signal Hill Vista Point trail, a moderately challenging 3.9-km out-and-back route. The trail offers stunning views of Antigua's landscape from Signal Hill, the island's second tallest peak. You can also explore the Victorian-style Wallings Dam and Reservoir, constructed by the British in 1900. This reservoir, once holding 13 million gallons of water, is now surrounded by a lush forest of mahoe, ironwood, mango, and white cedar trees. As you journey through Wallings Nature Reserve, don't miss the chance to visit the woodland gift shop, offering locally-made souvenirs and treats. With a $10 entrance fee, you can embrace the serenity and natural wonders of this Antiguan treasure.
