Where to stay in
Dominica
ROSEAU VALLEY
& LAUDAT
|
| Whilst conveniently
situated just a short drive from the
Post Office, shops, banks and
restaurants of Dominica's tiny
capital, Roseau, this region is also
the gateway to our World Heritage
Site - the Morne Trois
Pitons National Park.
Beyond Papillote the road ends at a
visitor centre and car park, from
where a 15 minute forest trail leads
to an observation shelter where both
of the twin Trafalgar Falls may be
viewed. In the northern heights of
the Roseau Valley is the village of
Laudat, at an elevation of 2,000ft.,
from where a new road leads to the
Freshwater Lake visitor centre,
where kyaks may be hired. A 30
minute trail encircles the lake and
another trail
continues to Boeri
Lake. It is from Laudat that the all
day hike to the Boiling Lake
commences via Titou Gorge, Breakfast
River and the Valley of Desolation.
From the approach road to Laudat is
the 1 hour trail to our highest
waterfall, Middleham Falls (300ft).
This trail then contiues on past
Stinking Hole then divides, one
trail leading to the village of
Cochrane which is also accessed by
road from Canefield, the other to
Sylvania, near Pont Casse. In the
southern heights of the Roseau
Valley is the village of Wotton
Waven, which offers several hot
mineral water spa's to soak away
those aches and pains. |
