Things to do in Wotten Waven

Why you should go

Ninety seconds on Wotten Waven

The island's geothermal field runs directly under this hamlet above Roseau. Sulphur vents in the gardens, the river runs warm, and half a dozen small bathhouses have been built over the springs. It is where walkers come down to after the Boiling Lake, and where anyone staying in the Roseau valley ends the day. The water is hot enough to need mixing and the smell does not wash out of clothes quickly.
