Smiths Parish
You're in for a sightseeing treat in the quaint village of Flatts, which straddles Hamilton and Smith's parishes and boasts a number of charming pastel-coloured houses, shops, boutiques and restaurants. The village embraces the tranquil blue-green waters of Flatts Inlet — once a haven for pirates and smugglers — and picturesque Harrington Sound, an unusual saltwater lake. Today Flatts is a popular mooring for pleasure craft.
Bermuda's first tourist attraction, Devil's Hole, is also in Smith's Parish on Harrington Sound Road. It's a small but deep cavern lake filled with angelfish, green parrotfish, snappers, Bermudian green turtles, moray eels and other marine creatures. The site is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Another historic site is Verdmont, a 300-year-old Georgian-style home that showcases Bermuda cedar furniture and period-planted gardens. This Bermuda National Historic Trust property is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Spittal Pond Nature Reserve, another trust property nearby, is Bermuda's largest bird sanctuary. The best time of year to spot birds is November through May. A rock with a Spanish inscription dating from 1543 lies atop a cliff on the southern shore of the 34-acre reserve. Trails lead through lush woodlands along shoreline cliffs.
