Round Hill Walk
Round Hill Walk is the short route to the Round Hill viewpoint on Nevis, climbing above Newcastle and Round Hill Estate into the north-side uplands.
Overview
Round Hill Walk is the short route up to Round Hill. The walk rises from the north-side estate and village belt into higher ground without turning into a long mountain climb.
The route belongs to the uplands above Newcastle Area, where Round Hill Estate and the northern coast begin to drop away below. It is closely tied to the north side of Nevis, not the island's interior rainforest routes.
The appeal of the walk is its directness. A relatively short climb leads to a hilltop view over the coast and channel.
