Travellers Hill
Ascension, Saint Helena
Why visit Travellers Hill?
Travellers Hill is a residential and support-services area on Ascension Island, located near the US base (the "Airhead"). It houses military and contractor personnel working at the island's communications and space-tracking facilities. It is not a tourist destination in the conventional sense — there are no historic buildings or visitor attractions — but its location near the Volcano Club and the base makes it a convenient hub for those on the island for work.
The climate is warm and dry, typical of Ascension's lowland areas.
