Ruins Walk

User Review
0 (0 votes)

For the toughest trekkers out there, the Ruins Walk provides a 2.3 km long rough trail which covers the remnants of an 18th-century town. Some of the dilapidated buildings include the 100-bed hospital, and Notre Dame convent, left untouched by construction.

If you love creepy atmospheres and feelings of adventure, then visit the trail when the low-hanging fog settles in to recreate what it was like for settlers arriving here 3 centuries ago.
