Above: Scenic veiw in the Altamont
There are portions of the Altamont that goes way back to the 1500’s. This was the time when nuns were said to have resided at the place. At around 1720, a brand new road was constructed by the landlords of Altamont - the St. George family.
The family created a newly constructed back and front avenues along with fine-looking granite access gates. They also planted some beech trees in rows to show the pathway of the old Nun’s Walk.
