Leaper's Hill

Grenada Island


It is from this cliff face that indigenous Carib families are said to have leapt in order to avoid advancing French forces. The small museum is no longer in operation but you can still visit the lookout point and imagine the macabre events. To get here, either walk through the Catholic cemetery behind the church or take the slightly rougher path down the right-hand side beside the school. The security guards on-site will give explanations on request.
