Bermuda Arboretum
This used to be a British army property and was handed over to the Government when the army left in 1951.
Unlike the Botanical Gardens, you won't find organized gardens or flower beds here. It's a vast expanse of meadows and forest with wide variety of trees and shrubs.
You will see cedars, flowering golden acacias, avocados, acres of cherry forest and rubber trees with hanging tendrils along with many other plantations.
The reserve is also a great bird sanctuary. You will see many types of birds here including trilling cardinals and rare bluebirds. There is a bridge decorated with cedar beams the lead to the park inside. There are small pools below this bridge.

The park has lots of space for picnic, trails ideal for walkers and joggers, and 20 exercise stations.
How to Reach: Take bus #3 that starts from Hamilton City for St. George. Arboretum is at the corner of Middle Road and Montpelier Road, and you have entrances from both these roads.
It's open all days from sunrise to sunset. There is no admission fee.
