Crow Lane: Crow lane in Paget faces the Hamilton harbor. The name comes from the fact that there were hundreds of crows that once used to populate the lane. Although a busy area, crow lane goes by a national park and you can sit here under a tree and watch the beautiful Hamilton harbor.

A top attraction at Crow lane is Johnny Barnes, a legendary Bermudian and a retired bus driver who cheers and waves at the commuters every morning. Born in 1924, Johnny wakes up every day at 2:30 am and has never missed a single day to cheer the commuters.
