A restored 17th-century plantation estate in the foothills of Mount Liamuiga, now home to Caribelle Batik, a workshop and showroom where you can watch artisans produce hand-dyed cotton in vivid Caribbean patterns. The gardens around the manor are the real attraction: tropical flowers, mature trees, and views down the valley to the sea.
The estate was once the centre of a large sugar plantation belonging to the Earl of Romney; the ruins of the old sugar boiling-house and mill stand a short walk away at the adjacent Wingfield Estate. Together they make one of the better insights into how the island's wealth was built.
