There are some wonderful old strategic military tracks and named lookout points. Tel: (784) 526-4500 environmentalattackers.org Richmond Quarry If you’d like to step back in time, pay a discrete visit to the quarry at Richmond. Most mornings you will discover an otherworldly scene of dust- covered barebacked men hammering away at the rock face or breaking down slabs of hand-hewn stone into smaller pieces. Union Islanders have the right to quarry the stone by hand, either for their own purposes or to sell to others. Ashton Lagoon Beautiful Ashton Lagoon is a designated Marine Conservation Area with an Interpretive Centre that offers access to two watch towers and a viewing deck, where visitors can observe a wide variety of resident and migratory shore birds, sea birds and land birds. For a closer view of the lagoon, you can go on a tour with trained birders or amble peacefully along a trail where interpretive signs provide in-depth information about the area’s interesting history and ecology. Please note that by visiting Ashton Lagoon you will be supporting this ecologically important project’s sustainability.
