Hamilton Estate Ruins

Nevis


Enjoy views of Charlestown from this romantically ruined sugar estate, which is being reclaimed by the jungle. Wander among the foundations of the Great House, the windmill, the boiling house and the chimney. It's hard to find, so ask for directions at the tourist office or go with a guide.
