Ninety seconds on Springfield & Gilbert Nature Reserve
This woodland holds some of the last mature Bermuda cedars on the island, in its north-east corner near a mulberry centuries old. If you are on the Railway Trail, they are worth the short detour.
Coming in from Somerset Road, you reach the courtyard first. Its smooth-roofed buttery, a pantry for food and drink, is said to be the most photographed on the island, and the slave house and kitchen stand around the same yard.
Past the outbuildings, paths lead into the Gilbert woodland, quiet enough for watching native and migratory birds. Head for the north-east corner for the old cedars, then loop back to the road or follow a path on to the Railway Trail.
