From the King’s Square parking lot, walk towards the east along Water Street, joining Duke of York Street and following it up Barrack Hill, along Cut Road to Alexandra’s Battery Park at Town Cut. Follow Barry Road along the coast to Fort St. Catherine and the St. Regis Hotel, turning left onto Retreat Hill Road. At the top of this road on the left is the entrance to Fort Albert and a little further on is the entrance to Fort Victoria, two adjacent forts built in 1842 by the British Army to defend the Royal Naval Dockyard and other strategic assets on the island.

Continue to Naval Tanks Hill, crossing it and joining the small Park Road. Walk along Park Road as it turns into Secretary Road and then Somner Lane. A short way up Somner Lane take another right turn towards Khyber Pass. At Khyber Pass walk to the roundabout and follow Suffering Lane in a westerly direction, until you reach Wellington Hill road on your right. Walk down Wellington Hill, cross the main road into St. George’s (Mullet Bay Road) and go along Wellington Slip Road around the cricket oval. Finish your walk by returning to King’s Square along Mullet Bay Road, Wellington Street and Water Street.
