Barbados Sightseeing: Scenic Lookouts: Cherry Tree Hill

Cherry Tree Hill, Barbados Approximately 850 feet above sea-level, this spot offers an excellent view of the "Scotland District" which covers the parish of St.Andrew and is named after the Patron Saint of Scotland.

It is believed that the name "Cherry Tree Hill" originated from the large number of cherry trees which once existed at this location.

Today the road is lined with mahogany trees, which were introduced into Barbados after the Treaty of Paris in 1763.

Cherry Tree Hill is part of the St. Nicholas Abbey plantation. Built in 1658 this is one of only three genuine Jacobean mansions in the Western Hemisphere. St. Nicholas Abbey Rum is produced at the on-site rum distillery. Be sure to stop by and explore the historic home, lovely gardens and fascinating boiling house and distillery.
