Diana's Peak
This could be described as one of the most well-known walks of St. Helena as it attracts a number of visitors. It is not surprising as the diverse scenery throughout can be summarised simply as “breathtaking”.

To capture the peaks in their entire splendour it is recommended that the walk is accomplished on a clear, cool morning; however a misty day does capsulate entirely diverse photo opportunities. There are a number of different paths available for you to discover and are appropriately named after the endemic creatures that can be spotted. These walks vary in lengths, the shortest of which can be completed leisurely in two hours.

The peaks consist of three prominent points that consists of Cuckold’s Point, Diana’s Peak & finally Mount Actaeon. Diana’s Peak is the highest point on St. Helena projecting at 820metres and provides views of a number of districts which include: Sandy Bay, Longwood, St. Pauls & Alarm Forest to name but a few.

Over the years a great deal of effort has been made by Agricultural & Natural Resources Department (A&NRD) and the National Trust to restore and preserve the natural environment that the peaks have to offer, as it is home to a number of our endemic species which include both plant life and creatures.
