Ninety seconds on Ireland Island
Walk out of the Dockyard along Malabar Road for the calmest two hours at this end of Bermuda: a naval cemetery in a sheltered valley, and a mangrove park where herons and egrets roost.
The Royal Naval Cemetery, known locally as the Glade, comes up on the left. Rows of small headstones stand among marble obelisks and tombs, many from the yellow fever years, with burials from both world wars.
Next door, Lagoon Park wraps round a mangrove pool. A small bridge looks over the lagoon on one side and out to Hospital Island on the other, and paths lead on to Parsons Bay, the park's one small beach, and the rocky shore of Lodge Point.
Back inside the Dockyard walls, Maritime Lane is a flat loop of about 500 metres around the high-walled Victualling Yard, the Navy's old supply store.
