Mission Lodge, located near the highest accessible point on Mahé by road, offers breathtaking views of central Mahé and the west coast. The site features low-slung stone ruins from a 19th-century school established by the London Missionary Society for children of freed slaves. The small pavilion here gained historical significance when Queen Elizabeth II visited for tea in 1972.

A very serene place rich in historical and natural heritage values, although it is a small area.We always make it a must visit every time we come back home. The view of the coast is simply breathtaking and must be experienced to understand.

Venn's Town (Mission Ruins) is a serene and picturesque spot offering stunning views of the ocean and surrounding hills. It's perfect for nature lovers and those interested in history. The peaceful atmosphere makes it ideal for a relaxing visit. However, be prepared for limited facilities. Overall, it's a beautiful and worthwhile destination.

I've read about Venn's Town but came across it by coincidence on our travels. Stunning lookout points & l appreciated the peacefulness. I liked that the trees were labeled so you could learn in the process. We were in flip-flops & managed fine to do the walkabout which isn't too long. However we did not go to the cemetery part, we walked for a bit but the terrain is a little different & good shoes are needed. It would be great to have an indication of the distance on this areas so you know if it's something you want to do, we eventually turned back. I would also suggest a clean up on the walk way to the cemetery, broken glass is a hazard & the car parts is just eerie.

This is a historical place with a UN World heritage tag ( Entrance fee SCR100), where kids of the slaves were housed for food and education. This viewing deck which overlooks the distant mountains and beach’s was inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth in March 1972. Worth a visit.

One of the most beautiful sightings on the island The entrance to the park with local vegetation is typical of the island. Over a distance of about 100 meters, there is a view with benches for sitting in front of the amazing view of the island.
