Jacob's Ladder

This narrow set of 399 steps is the only path out of the seaward end of Jamestown.

Reviewed By A2082QZmarkw

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!

Napoleon's Tomb

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.
