Most likely some feral or escaped chickens from the neighboring dairy farm will welcome you to the land of rural Bermuda. Go down some steps and follow the public footpath that slopes down into the woodland. Fiddle wood, Mexican pepper, cedars and allspice trees form a leafy tunnel. Interspersed with the trees are the vines of morning glory and elephant ears. Remember to look down as well as up, and look out for the wild flowers.
Wire weed is common here.
The brackish pond with its surrounding marshland is a perfect sanctuary for herons, coots, ducks and geese. It's fenced, but as you continue along the footpath, you'll find plenty of areas where you can watch the birds without upsetting them. Look to your right, and you'll see the spectacular, craggy coastline of the South Shore. A quiet walk through one of our many parks gives new meaning to the word solitude. GIS Ahead of you is a gate leading to the sanctuary and to Spanish Rock.
