The Valley Attractions

The Valley is Anguilla's chief town and the geographic, commercial and political center of the island. More like a cross-roads than a town, it seems to consist of a series of shopping plazas and lacks quaint administrative buildings. The small, rambling Valley has a population of less than 2,000.

Warden's Place
Warden's Place, a former cotton and sugar plantation Great House, was built by slaves in the 1790s for a Dutch family from St Maarten and is a fine example of island stonework. The Warden's Place served as the residence of the island's chief administrator, who doubled as the only medical practitioner. Restored, it now houses a restaurant and its 200-year-old rock oven is still used to prepare food. Across the street sits a simple yellow wooden house with a red roof which was formerly the slaves' quarters.
