BBD Bagh Heritage Walk around Lal Dighi is a short loop through the old Dalhousie Square, laid out around Lal Dighi, the tank at its centre. Almost every building on the circuit dates from the period when Calcutta was the capital of British India, and Writers' Building, the General Post Office, the Calcutta High Court, the Currency Building, St John's Church and Metcalfe Hall line the route. The full round is short enough to cover on foot in one to two hours, and the streets between the buildings are flat and easy to follow. Walk it on a Sunday morning, when offices are shut and the red facades stand clear, keeping the water on one side. The area is a working government quarter, busy on weekdays and quiet on Sundays, and restrictions on photography apply near government buildings. Many visitors treat the circuit as a half-morning and then continue to Esplanade, New Market or the river ghats for lunch.
