Admiralty House Park

Admiralty House was the residence of the Royal Navy's commander in Bermuda, and the grounds around it on the north shore cliffs are now a public park. What makes it unusual is underground: a nineteenth-century admiral had caves and tunnels cut into the limestone below the house, including a passage down to the water, and they can still be walked. Clarence Cove below is a small sheltered beach reached through the park.

What you actually see

• The cut caves - the nineteenth-century tunnels and chambers below the house.
• The passage to the water - the cut route from the grounds down to the shore.
• Clarence Cove - the small sheltered beach below the cliffs.
• The clifftop grounds - the park along the north shore.

When to go

March to November is the most comfortable. The park is open and free. Hurricane season runs June to November.

Honest expectations

The caves are unlit and a torch is needed; they are also unsupervised. The house itself is not open. The park is used by locals and can be busy at weekends.
