The Valley, Capital city in Anguilla, Caribbean
The Valley is the capital of Anguilla and sits in the central part of the island between Crocus Bay and Crocus Hill. The town spreads across a gently rolling landscape that gives views toward the surrounding coast.
The Valley began as a colonial settlement after the British took control of Anguilla in the 17th century. It later grew into the island's administrative and government center.
Wallblake House, constructed in 1787, represents colonial architecture and now functions as a rectory for the adjacent Catholic church in The Valley.
The Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport connects this place to the outside world by air, and roads link it to other parts of Anguilla. Most central areas can be walked through easily, with local transportation available to reach more distant spots.
The ruins of the old courthouse stand at the top of Crocus Hill and still contain the remains of prison cells from colonial times. You can explore these underground chambers and get a sense of the place's past.
