Tour Jamaica

Trelawny

This Parish is a nature-lover’s mix of rivers, mountains, plains, wetlands – dream home to a diverse bird population and a sometimes craggy shoreline. A large part of the limestone Cockpit Country with its numerous caves and other features also lie in this parish. Relive History in Falmouth. Laid out in 1790, the town captures the spirit and ambience of Jamaica past. Falmouth was also the first town to get piped water in this hemisphere. Trelawny thrived on the trade of sugar, rum and enslaved Africans but was also a hotbed of strong anti-slavery sentiments. Tour the parish with the most Great Houses and stroll through some of the Free Villages established after Emancipation, like Clarkes Town and Stuart Town. Discover Tambu – Music of the “Kongo” people at Wakefield. View the historic William Knibb Baptist Church and St. Peter’s Anglican Church, then glimpse times past of Good Hope Guest House – all the charm and ease of Jamaica’s yesterdays. Enjoy a Cruise Glistening Waters – that literally shimmers at night. Tour the Cockpit Country. Relax while rafting on the Martha Brae and don’t miss the Trelawny Yam Festival – A Jamaica family event.
