When Horatio Nelson was sent to Antigua to defend English Harbour in the late 18th century, he famously described it as an ‘infernal hole’. Imagine his surprise today upon seeing a stunningly beautiful historical National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Centre. Explore the restored Georgian buildings of Nelson's Dockyard – today housing shops, galleries and restaurants – before savouring a delicious lobster lunch. Travel through the countryside, with spectacular panoramas of the harbour and Galleon Beach from the Shirley Heights lookout and over the Atlantic Ocean from the clifftop Blockhouse Ruins. Spend time lazing on the sandy beach or swimming in the crystal-clear waters.
