Ninety seconds on Bermuda Arboretum
Shade, birdsong and paths you may have to yourself are the reasons to come. Little is manicured and few trees carry names, so it is a quieter, wilder walk than the Botanical Gardens.
Find the cedar bridge over a string of small pools, then follow the paths deeper into the park. Open meadow alternates with dense woodland, where cardinals, bluebirds, white-eyed vireos and kiskadees live.
Quarry gardens and stands of Bermuda and Chinese fan palms grow among conifers, cherry trees, rubber trees and golden acacias. Labels are sparse, so bring a tree guide or an identification app if the species matter.
For a run, follow the fitness trail; for a slower hour there is a gazebo and a few picnic areas. Mountain bike and cross country races use the grounds from time to time.
