Delve into Anguilla's remarkable story — from Amerindian settlements and the salt-trade era to the 1967 Revolution — on a private walking tour led by a local historian. The Wallblake House, heritage churches, and ancient salt ponds tell a story found nowhere else in the Caribbean.
What to expect
The tour opens at the 18th-century Wallblake House plantation, the island's oldest standing building, where your guide explains the brutal economics of salt harvesting and its connection to slavery. You walk the perimeter of the great salt ponds, still fringed by endemic birds, before visiting the tiny heritage churches and graveyards that reveal Anguilla's deep African and Caribbean roots. The 1967 Revolution — when Anguillians literally expelled the St. Kitts administration — is told with remarkable passion and pride.
Good to know
Contact the Anguilla National Trust directly to arrange a private guided tour; public tours run on select mornings. Wear light, breathable clothing and sturdy walking shoes. Wallblake House is a short taxi ride from Road Bay. Morning departures are best — cooler temperatures and the best light for photography.
