obzhagen Posted July 30, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hi- My wife and I will be in Bermuda for the first time in early October. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for some hikes on the island. My wife and I tend to like well marked hikes (bonus if there are some nice views) that are of moderate level difficulty (no climbing up sheer rock faces!). I noticed that their is a railway that is now a trail. Anyone tried that, and if so, how is it? Is it all open in the sun, dense forest or both? Thanks for any advice! Regards, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonChap Posted July 31, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It's not a long hike, but it is a bucket list mile with awesome views. The trail is from Horseshoe Bay to Warwick Long Bay. We are going to do this trail again soon. We are also going to do the trails around Blue Hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rail trail is something completely different.;):) OP, did you Google the rail trail. Lots of info here. http://bermudarailway.net/now/trail.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have also been on the Rail Trail but really like the suggestion below better. ) Been on the trail from Horseshoe to Warwick several times. It's about a mile right along the coast. the trail goes through South Shore Park. Not on the Rail Trail, not a long trail but the photo ops are amazing.

1bets1 Posted August 1, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I second the idea of Warwick to HSB. The most amazing sites I have ever seen. Going back June 2016. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueMo Posted August 1, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I've walked the Rail Trail in a couple of places. If you take public bus 7 and get off at Somerset Bridge (while there, see the "smallest drawbridge in the world") and walk to the police station at Somerset Village via the trail, you will walk through wide, sometimes grassy trails under shade for the most part, passing Scaur Hill Fort and Heydon Trust Chapel along the way. It's a very nice walk that we sometimes take on the way back from a morning at Horseshoe Bay. Because of the shade, it is doable even on a hot afternoon.

Cyber Kat Posted August 1, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The Railway trail is awesome and is mostly set up for hiking. We did a horseback ride along part of it and passed through Warwick Long Bay on the ride. Some parts are easier walking than others, and some of the views are spectacular! Highly recommended if you like walking. They have redone the bridges near Bailey's Bay http://www.bermudarailway.net/now/trail.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christinalvt Posted October 5, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The trails in Tom Moores jungle are great, and there are lots of caves to explore, some you can swim in. Also the trails lead to a couple of Blue Holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie39 Posted November 3, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Cyber Kat- Can you tell me how to did the trail on horseback? I have been trying to find a horseback excursion. Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles4515 Posted November 4, 2015 #13 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Cyber Kat- Can you tell me how to did the trail on horseback? I have been trying to find a horseback excursion. Thank you :) If you google Bermuda Horseback you will find five or six horseback ride places. I would guess from the description of the ride they used Spicelands which is in Warrick. http://www.spicelandsriding.com/Trail%20Rides/TrailRides.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
