Old Road

Old Road, the sit of the first British settlement in the Caribbean, comprises of Romney's Manor, the Carib drawings and the Wingfield Manor Estate yard. This is one of the most interesting spots on the island for the simple fact that it has the only road going directly across the island via the rain forest. Old Road is now the heart of the island's fishing community and still keeps that old rural style way of life.

Romney Manor

No visit to Old Road or St. Kitts even would ever be complete without a visit to Romney Manor, the home of Caribelle Batik. This 350 year old estate, formally owned by a British Earl, is where local artists transform Sea Island Cotton into magnificent works of art. As you walk through its gardens filled with exotic plants and flowers, you will find a 350 year old African Saman tree covering half an acre.

Black Rocks

This is the site of the violent volcanic past that St. Kitts has suffered. These beautiful Black coloured rock formations, are the reminiscence of hot molten lava spilling into the Atlantic Ocean on St. Kitts' North side.
