“...Mr. C. J. P. Cave. From Cherry Tree
| Hill, a short distance beyond the Abbey, reached by a
I noble double avenue of Casuarina and mahogany trees,
I there is a striking view of the Scotland District, with
I Hackleton’s Cliff (see page 92) beyond.
Farley Hill, in St. Peter’s (16 miles; 1J hours by
I motor-car, 3 hours by carriage from Bridgetown), the
I residence of the late Sir Graham Briggs, is notable as
I being the original home of the beautiful Farliense fern
I (Adiantum Farliense). J. A. Froude stayed here in
I 1887. In the grounds are trees planted by Prince
I Alfred, afterwards Duke of Edinburgh, who visited the
I West Indies in the Euryalus in 1861, and by Princes
I Albert Victor and George (now King George V), who
I toured the Caribbean in H.M.S. Bacchante in 1879-80.
I From Grenade Hall, St. Peter, a disused signal-station
I near by, a fine view of the Scotland District can be

At Turner’s Hall Wood, St. Andrew (14 miles; 1J hours

“...off the Villa estate, about two miles
from Kingstown. Good deep-sea fishing is obtainable off Kings-
town and other places near by, and suitable tackle can easily
be hired.
. CLUB. The Kingstown Club, founded in 1891, with premises
in James and Middle Streets, welcomes visitors who are intro-
duced by members.
SIGHTS. Kingstown, which nestles at the foot of the
mountains at the head of a magnificent bay on the
south-west of St. Vincent, is one of the most picturesque
spots in the West Indies. Froude likened it to a
Norwegian town, with its houses along the shore painted
in the same tints of blue or yellow or pink as those in
Norway, with the same red-tiled roofs, the trees coming
down the hill-sides to the water’s edge, villas of modest
pretensions shining through the foliage, with the patches
of cane-fields, the equivalent in the landscape of the
brilliant Norwegian grass.
In the Market Square in the centre of the town and
near the pier stands the War Memorial to those from
St. Vincent...”
