Palm Sunday walk

This year’s National Trust Palm Sunday Walk explores Devonshire Parish.

The walk takes place at 2pm and is being sponsored by the Argus Group. John Barritt & Son Ltd will provide refreshments.

It starts at Elliot Primary School, Hermitage Road, but latecomers are welcome until 3:15pm. The five mile route should take about two hours.

The Bermuda National Trust said: “We encourage all locals and visitors to come and participate in this great community event.

“All are welcome and there is no charge for participation, although donations would be greatly appreciated.

“As with previous walks, the route will take participants to places that the public rarely get to explore, and a map will highlight some points of cultural interest along the way.

“This year’s walk will travel through Bermuda’s largest marsh, beside arable land that has been farmed for centuries and along Devonshire’s wild and visually stunning southern coast.

“Walkers will see familiar views from new vantage points and discover hidden treasures of Devonshire’s nature reserves, woodlands and farmlands.”

Walkers are advised to wear sensible shoes. Dogs or strollers are not recommended.

 Road-users on Middle Road, Vesey Street, Barker’s Hill and South Road, Devonshire, are asked to use care, as walkers will be on the road for most of the afternoon.

The event is also being supported by the Bermuda Police Service and St John Ambulance.

Alison Hill, Argus Group CEO said: “We are delighted to once again be supporting this event that grants unique access to some of Bermuda’s otherwise seldom-seen beauty spots.

“We encourage everyone to take part and get some exercise while enjoying the scenery that makes Bermuda so special.”
