The Valley trip planner

The Valley is the capital of Anguilla, one of its fourteen districts, and the main "town" on the island., it had a population of 1,067.HistoryHistorical landmarksThe Valley has few examples of colonial architecture due to the relocation of Anguilla's administration to St. Kitts in 1825, though Wallblake House, built in 1787, still stands and is used as a rectory by the adjacent church. New shops have opened in new buildings and renovated West Indian-style cottages. Old shops have been modernized and have enlarged their stocks as well as their space.The ruins of the Old Court House are located on Crocus Hill, the island's highest point. All that remains are the broken walls of a few basement jail cells. At Cross Roads at the western edge of The Valley is Wallblake House, a plantation home built around 1787 that is now owned by the Catholic Church (the parish priest lives there) and St. Gerard's Catholic Church, with its highly original façade of pebbles, stones, cement, wood and tile.GeographyLocationThe town is located in the middle of the island, in front of Crocus Bay and nearby Crocus Hill, the island's highest point.
