My walk today took me up to the old ruins of the Leinster Bay Estate House, built back in the 1700's for James Murphy. The ruins are off of the Johnny Horn Trail, which is connected to Leinster Bay Trail on the eastern end of the beach at Waterlemon bay. The ruins are located on top of a hillside and provide an amazing view of St. John; Annaberg, Mary Point, Water Bay, Leinster Bay, and Brown Bay. One can also see Fungi Passage, between Whistling Cay and Mary Point as well as Great Thatch, Little Thatch, and Tortola. The old estate has also been called Windy Hill and The Bad Boys Home.
You can see The Bad Boys Home Ruins up on top of the hill on the right.
Take the second right at the bush :)
