Experience Details*

Explore one of the Caribbean’s most historic and enchanting sites at your leisure.

Relax and soak up the scenery as you drive along the picturesque coast to English Harbour at the southern tip of Antigua. After a brief guided tour from a local escort – who will be available to answer any questions during your visit – you’ll have free time to discover the charm of Nelson’s Dockyard.

If you’re keen to find out about the life of Nelson, be sure to take a look around the museum housed in the former home of the legendary naval officer. Prefer to soak up the atmosphere of the revitalised colonial-style village? Stroll between the quaint shops, treat yourself to a drink at the chic Copper and Lumber Store Historic Inn, or relax by the water’s edge at the marina, which is still in use today.
