There's plenty of history and scenery on this walk and is recommended if this kind of thing appeals to you. Many of the Inns of Nevis are on former plantations and in themselves are worth stopping by to appreciate their truly wonderful settings and the original buildings that still remain. As a group, the charm of the Inns of Nevis have no equal. They are very special indeed and have, understandably, become the quiet and peaceful getaways from the hustle and bustle for those fortunate enough to find out about them. Some of the plantations though dating back to previous centuries became disuse and fell into a state of disrepair and have become historical points of interest, many parts of their original brickwork still remaining.
Photo opportunities are good - a little background knowledge helps too.
Hamilton Estate can be found just north of Government Road. Of note is the volcanic stone windmill tower and the 19th Century steam engine. The estate fell out of use in the early 1950's. New River Estate , some way to the east down by Hugging Bay, was the last operating sugar mill in Nevis. The massive machinery stands silent, the tall chimney, the ruined great house, the sugar boiling wall and the colonnade all still stand.
