A deceptively hard climb, and even harder descent! A must-do if you visit the island though. The views are wonderful. It's difficult to imagine how it ever got built!

I had to keep going back to this amazing museum, there is so much to read about that was so interesting from the first settlers through to recent Saints who sailed around the world. A fascinating insight into the people and the island's rich history, a must for any visitor

Napoleon chose this site for his burial and was interred here from 1821 to 1840, when his remains were moved to a cemetery in Paris.

To understand the full history, this is a place you shouldn't miss. Make sure you visit in order - Briars Pavilion, Longwood House and then the Valley of the Tomb.

I really enjoyed stopping in and seeing this old historic church that was built in 1772. Wow, that was a long time ago! The inside has some nice stained glass windows. The part that really caught my eye is its old foot pumping pipe organ. It was amazing to see it in such great shape. The steeple of the church is a more modern addition. BOTTOM LINE: Worth a quick visit to check out. Be sure to checkout the foot power air pump old organ! This church is history being the oldest in the southern hemisphere. MY RATING: 9/10.
