Morne Bruce

A lookout on a hill east of Roseau, home to a large white cross and the remains of a British military garrison, with sweeping views over the capital, the bay and the cruise ships at anchor.

Morne Bruce was a garrison built by the British in the late 18th century. Parts of its barracks ruins and old cannons survive, and the large white cross at the summit is a city landmark. The lookout offers wide views: below you can see the botanical garden, the red roofs of Roseau's old town and the bay. Sunset here is especially spectacular. You can walk up in about 15-20 minutes via the Jack's Trail inside the botanical garden; the steps are steep. You can also drive up the road to the top. Admission is free, and it pairs well with a visit to the botanical garden.
