Actually Hugo it was Gerald Singer who has published it as Windy Hill. I promise I will not forget. The Reform School, the Reform School, the Reform School.

The graves are at Cinnamon Bay
The snorkel spot is Pelican Rock
The steps are Annaberg
Yep, I will chime in on Windy Hill
The ruins above Leinster are not called that--you can call it the Murphy estate house, or the Leinster estate house, or the Reform School (that's what I call it), but Windy Hill is somewhere else, and if the @#%&?!! trail bandit publishes a map to there , I will personally give him a pair of concrete overshoes.
The graves are indeed off the Cinnamon Bay Nature Trail. They from a couple Danes who owned the estate. Looks like there were plaques on the side that have long since been looted.

It is Leduck Island, part of the USVI. The second island is Flanagan Island, BVI (was sometimes called "witch island" in the past).

Pics were taken from the Concordia road near the beginning of Nanny Point....

Thanks to Hugo, I wish to correct my stated ownership of Flanagan Island... It actually is part of the USVI. Sorry for the misinformation!

Flanagan, although contested in the past, is very much USVI , not BVI...

Hugo, thank you for setting me straight! No claim here by me on behalf of the Brits...
just poor eyesight and a color mismatch on a BVI map. :oops:

I apologize to all for this misinformation. Thanks again, Hugo, for all the great information you share so patiently.
