The Valley is the capital of Anguilla and serves as the main developed area for the island. Anguilla Wallblake Airport supports the city, providing a range of regional and international flights. Wallblake House, built in 1787 is a fine example of colonial architecture, offering an insight into the history of Anguilla. Much of the colonial infrastructure was moved to St. Kitts, allowing The Valley to develop in its own style, representing the local character. Crocus Hill is the highest point in Anguilla, and here visitors can discover ruins of the Old Court House, another fascinating glimpse into colonial history. St. Gerard's Catholic Church is a unique building, with a combination of tile, stones, pebbles and wood forming the front of the structure. For a charming town and a perfect base for exploring Anguilla, be sure to visit The Valley!

Since 1980, Anguilla has enjoyed more independence than at any other stage in its history, receding to become a separate UK dependency, ending a spell of British colonization beginning in 1650. Taino Indians settled the country long before the arrival of Europeans, and traces of their culture have been found across the island. Tourists are able to pay using US Dollars, which is readily accepted alongside the local currency by the friendly and welcoming locals. Anguilla is well known within financial circles as an offshore banking center, and is home to several financial companies and insurers. Whether for the beaches or for business, Anguilla is sure to have all that you require!
