The Valley: An Extra British City
Anguilla is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom where bits and pieces of British colonial history remains and continues to grow. Its capital, main town, and main gathering place of the island is The Valley. It is a small, rural city where tourists love to visit whenever in Anguilla. The city is rich with wonderful landscapes and seascapes, matching the historical buildings and features preserved through the British colonial period. Moreso, tourists enjoy visiting for the relaxing atmosphere and feel the city brings.
Best Time to Visit
Visiting The Valley is best during the months before and after the winter season to enjoy lower The Valley hotel prices and avoid hurricane season. Months of September and October, as well as May and August, are the best times to visit the small city. Moonsplash Festival is celebrated every May, which is a great event to enjoy when in Anguilla.
What to Do & Area Attractions
The Valley is a great destination to visit not only for its own spots but as well as nearby beauties. The Crocus Bay Beach is a white-sand beach that has great sunset views and offers swimming and snorkeling activities. It has no resorts within the bay area but only has daVida, which is the island's best restaurant. For a historical landmark, the island's oldest structure which was built during the British colonial period is the Wallblake House, which is a heritage plantation house built by Will Blake who was a sugar planter. For hotel accommodations and resorts, La Vue Boutique Inn, Anguilla Great House Beach Resort, and CuisinArt Golf Resort & Spa are great choices for lovely stays in and near The Valley.
