Today

Cavannagh Cave is a small, rather unsighty cave in the limestone cliffs of Katouche Valley. This is the most likely place where in 1868 were discovered large bones remains of an extinct rodent Amblyrhiza inundata, which was up to 200 kg heavy.

Cavannagh Cave Anguilla. The site where remnants of extinct giant rodent Amblyrhiza inundata were found in the 19th century. This deer sized animal lived some 125 000 years ago, at lower sea level. It is possible that these remnants were found in other local caves as well.

Lizards of Sombrero Island Sombrero. On this small island lives endemic Sombrero Ameiva (Ameiva corvina) and one dwarf gecko which most likely is endemic too. In the late Pleistocene on this island was living giant tortoise Chelonoidis sombrerensis. Old Ta Cave Anguilla. One of the most impressive caves on the island.

Big Spring petroglyph site Anguilla. Prehistoric stone carvings by Arawaks and Tano at a sinkhole, where people used to take water. Fountain Cavern Anguilla. Cave site of prehistoric (Arawak) ceremonies, contains multiple petroglyphs and stalagmite statue whose top is shaped like a head of spirit. Cave has small fresh water pools in it. St. Gerard's Church Anguilla. Unusual Catholic church, its concrete walls are adorned with pebbles and stones. Wallblake House Anguilla. Historical plantation house, built in 1787, most likely the oldest structure on Anguilla.
