Khyber Pass to Frank's Bay

From Khyber Pass the Trail continues through the centre of Warwick, past Riddell’s Bay Station and passing below Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse. There a steep climb up Tribe Road #2 will take you to the Lighthouse, with its 185 steps and magnificent vista!

Alas, the Lighthouse Tearoom, with its tea and cakes, is gone, replaced by a restaurant unexcitingly called The Dining Room. Wait! Now replaced by an Indian restaurant called Tamarind. I have not yet had a chance to try it, but you can be sure it still has the magnificent view from the top of Lighthouse Hill.

After the Lighthouse, the Trail runs alongside Middle Road and is an easy stretch for cyclists.

(The Trail maps in this tour come from the Bermuda Tourism Railway Trail brochure. Please pick up a copy if you are in Bermuda.)
