Green Mountain National Park
Surrounding Ascension's highest peak, Green Mountain National
Park is the best place to go to experience the island's natural
beauty. A strange mix of endemic plants (which are propagated in
nurseries dotted around the park), and Norfolk Island pines
(planted in the 1800s to provide timber for ship masts), Green
Mountain National Park is also home to land crabs, fairy terns and
red-necked francolins. The Park is criss-crossed by historic
walking trails, all of which provide panoramic views of the island,
and there are plenty of picnic tables on offer, as well as a
children's play area. Additionally, the area surrounding Green
Mountain is generally a few degrees cooler than the rest of the
island - offering welcome relief on sweltering days.
