This Antigua route links four very different places into one full day: naval history, hilltop military views, plantation history and Atlantic geology.
Morning: Nelson’s Dockyard
Start with Nelson’s Dockyard while temperatures are cooler and museum areas are easier to explore.
Late morning: Shirley Heights
Continue uphill to Shirley Heights for English Harbour views and military context.
Afternoon: Betty’s Hope
Drive inland to Betty’s Hope, where restored windmill structures and interpretation explain Antigua’s sugar economy and enslaved labor.

FAQ
Can you do all four in one day?
Yes with a rental car or private driver, but skip a stop rather than rushing if weather or opening hours change.
