The Bermuda National Trust’s annual Palm Sunday Walk will take participants on a historic tour through Hamilton Parish tomorrow.

The five-mile walk will start at the Wilkinson Memorial Park on Coney Island Road and take walkers to sites usually closed to the public.

A trust spokesman said: “While providing breathtaking views throughout, this year’s walk will visit spectacular sites of national significance, historic neighbourhoods, a secluded nature reserve and pass several historic houses and buildings.

“As always, the route will take participants to places that the public does not normally get to explore and a map will highlight some points of cultural and natural interest along the way.”

He added: “The Trust encourages all locals and visitors to come and participate in this great community event.

“All are welcome and there is no charge for participation, although donations would be greatly appreciated.”

The event is sponsored by insurance firm Sompo International.

A company spokesman said: “A supporter of the Bermuda National Trust and their role in preserving the island’s open spaces and rich heritage, Sompo International is proud to sponsor their 2018 Palm Sunday Walk.

“Sompo International supports numerous local services, projects and events that benefit the broader Bermuda community and looks forward to the annual spring walk as a way to promote both environmental awareness and physical and mental health.”

The event also marks the culmination of “March Through March” with participants who have completed 25,000 steps this month eligible for a free Trust membership.

The walk will start at 2pm and take about two-and-a-half hours to complete.

The trust said the route is not suitable for baby strollers or dogs and asked road users in Hamilton Parish “to exercise care, as walkers will be on the road for most of the afternoon”.

Refreshments will be provided and walkers are encouraged bring drink containers.
