Walking

See Bermuda on Foot, and don't miss a thing!

The Bermuda Railway Trail, the train bed from Bermuda’s only train between 1931 and 1948, was designated a park in 1984 as a public walking trail and bridle-path. It is a wonderful place to walk, run or cycle. Tribe Roads connect to the Railway Trail and the coastline of Bermuda. Get off the Railway and head to one of Bermuda’s beaches for a long walk in the sand. The Bermuda Walking Club meets on Sundays at different points around the island; it’s free and you’re welcome to join in! A good online resource for the old Bermuda Railway can be found at www.bermudarailway.net.

If you have any questions please email our Online Concierge and go to our map to find the gallery locations. Check our Events Calendar for exhibitions and shows.
