Step back to 1725 when you visit Waterville, headquarters of the Bermuda National Trust. This was the home of the Triminghams, whose descendants operated the biggest department stores in Bermuda for more than 150 years. Waterville's drawing and dining rooms are full of antiques, china and art. Among the attractions gracing the well-tended grounds is a Victorian rose garden with arbours and benches.
Camden House, the official residence of Bermuda's premier, is another historic Paget property. It's open to the public on Tuesdays and Fridays from noon to 2 p.m. Used only for dinners and receptions, the house's gracious rooms boast beautiful antique furniture, including pieces handcrafted of Bermuda cedar, along with fine china, crystal and other works of art.
Nature lovers will appreciate Paget Marsh, which looks much as it did when Bermuda's first settlers encountered it. Learn about indigenous plants here by reading the markers along the boardwalk.
Many of the species you'll see in the marsh are also found in Bermuda's Botanical Gardens. The Garden for the Sightless features a collection of plants known for their unique scents. Take a free tour of the Botanical Gardens at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
