St. Margaret's Shrine

Reviewed By Andres72423 - Bridgeport, United States

I was out for my daily walk and decided to stop in to relive childhood memories. As a little boy I always remembered visiting the shrine on Easter. My parents would bring us every year. It was very serene. A peaceful walk with plenty of benches to sit under the trees and enjoy some shade. As I walked around and looked at the sights it brought back great memories. There were plenty of places to light a candle and say a prayer or two. No festival this year but always time to say a prayer. There is no fee associated with your visit just be respectful to others who may be visiting.

Fayerweather Island Light

Reviewed By ragiansanti34 - Staffordshire, United Kingdom

The Fayerweather Island Lighthouse is currently being remodelled but it is still a nice place to visit. It is a little bit of a hike going out to - mostly on large rocks. The rocks are interesting to look at because a lot of them have older dates printed on them, along with carved names and graffiti. I like to wonder if the people who carved out their name and their significant other’s names are still together. I hope so. I saw a lot of late 1960s and early 1970s dates. The beach the lighthouse sits on has a lot of beautiful shells and some sea glass scattered about. It’s a good place to go for people who love lighthouses and want to get some good exercise in.

Concerts are good as the arena is not huge, you're able to see the performers within any seat you purchase.
