Why go

St Nicholas Abbey brings several parts of a former sugar estate into one visit. The house dates to 1660 and retains Jacobean features rarely seen in the Caribbean. The distillery shows a later chapter of the property’s working life, while the gardens give room to step back and view the building. The site’s plantation history also calls for attention to the labour of enslaved people.

What to look for

  • The Jacobean house built in 1660.
  • The rum distillery on the estate.
  • Garden views back toward the house.

Useful to know

  • Confirm current admission and access to the house, distillery and gardens with the venue.
