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. |
