Shadwell Great House is one of the last standing colonial plantation houses on the island. It has such a tremendous amount of history that it is simply too much to write here. There is currently an art gallery, cafe, yoga studio, acupuncture and trigger point therapy clinic and editing studio currently in the Great House.

A must see!!! If you step foot on the island of St Kitts please do yourself a favor and make every attempt to make sure you visit this wonderful site. I rented a vehicle and I had a mini panic attack driving up and down the fortress driveways. Please take a cab. They do this trip every single day and are used to the hairpin turns and narrow alley ways that can freak you out very quickly if you are the driver so just sit back relax and look out the window. The admission fee is $10 per person cash only. We went on an early Sunday morning and had the entire place to ourselves which was awesome. There is a quick 10 minute introductory historical video to watch adjacent to the gift shop. The steep steps up to the left bring you to the most strikingly beautiful views of Saint kits and the islands of Saba and St Eustacius. There are probably 40 cannons to look at take pictures of and admire the beautiful scenery. The historic bell is also located on the top of the tiled roof. If you go below to the main open gallery Archway there is a different room to learn about every piece of history along your journey through end it is fascinating information. Once you take the steep steps back down there is beautiful views overlooking a vast field with gorgeous mountainous views as well as the adjacent ocean with ruin type stone arches. I highly recommend going early in the morning before it gets too hot and the crowds begin to develop. Bring plenty of water and wear proper foot gear. They were also absolutely gorgeous hibiscus flowers everywhere to admire.

This old plantation estate houses the Caribelle Batik works. You can watch colorful, tie-dye clothes being made.

I am so happy that we went to visit RomneyManor and the Carrabelle batik factory and store. It was truly a beautiful walk through the rain forest up to the grounds that are perfectly manicured and such magnificent flowers and trees to admire. There are endless photo opportunities here to enjoy. There is a fountain and an overlook to the rainforest and a bell tower to climb and a 400-year-old Saman with flowers everywhere. In addition to the gorgeous landscaping there are recently handcrafted batik pieces free flowing in the wind to dry and admire. I was so taken aback and fell instantly in love with one piece in particular that I went in to buy it right off of the clothesline. I asked to meet the artist and take her photo holding my new treasure. We also met the owner/groundskeeper who took us on a mini private tour of some of the specific plants, trees and flowers that were growing nearby with a very informative exclamation for each. I highly recommend visiting this gem while on Saint Kitts

See the ruins of this church, otherwise known as St. Marks Chapel of Ease. Slaves and free men could once worship here together.
Reviewed By sharkleberry - Toronto, Canada
A quiet space of contemplation, and a lot of conflicting thoughts when reading through the information they provide on the builder and his history. The actual site is beautiful, and to read the names of the persons who were enslaved and built the church and worshipped there is extremely powerful. Highly recommend.

Take a tour of this ruined manor beside Mount Nevis.
Reviewed By 869williamp
The Mountravers ruins are now occupied by the Pinneys and no longer open to the public. However, the family does allow access through their property via the main access road, and to four historic dams on the property. Three of the dams can be accessed via a path just past the wooden gate that marks the western boundary of Mountravers Estate; and one dam can be accessed via a path just to the left of the the main entrance to Mountravers. The dams were built to supply water to the steam engines at Pinney’s Yard near the Manager’s House (further down the mountain, marked with a sign), with the first 10 HP non-condensing horizontal steam engine for milling sugar, and one engine for milling corn, ordered from George Latham & Co., London by Peter Thomas Huggins in 1820. Huggins’ father had purchased Mountravers from the Pinneys in 1815. The total cost of the order was £1,750, and records show that Huggins invested another £2,000 at his sugar works to accommodate the new technology. The sequence of dams served as a filtering system, with cast iron pipes leading from one to the next. A letter of 1825 complains of the corroding effect on the steam engines due to silt. These dams and steam engines were in continuous use until 1942, at which time sugar cultivation ceased on the Estate in favor of cotton and copra. The engines and boilers were sold off for scrap by Walter Wade soon after he purchased Pinney’s Estate in 1946.

Visitors can see the ruins of this grand 18th-century hotel and spa.
Reviewed By jeanbean0919 - Westhampton, United States
The Bath Hotel and Spring House offer and very low key 115’ “foot” bath. It is very small, and gets crowded when cruise ships are in. I went late in the afternoon when it was virtually empty and was pleasantly surprised with how rejuvenated I felt afterwards. The heat is intense and you need to go in slowly. While there, I met a man from Nevis who was very informative about the bath and affirmed the healing powers of the volcanic water. I intend to go back. For $1 EC, it is a bargain!
