JAMAICA
Fans of Georgian architecture will find much to admire in Falmouth, which was founded in 1790 on the north coast of this charismatic island, and Spanish Town, the island capital from 1534 to 1872. Several Great Houses have survived with Rose Hall in Montego Bay the best known, while Seville Heritage Park, near Ocho Rios, includes artefacts from the island’s original inhabitants, the Taíno. Don’t miss the lofty Blue Mountains where the Heritage Gardens at Cold Spring reveal how this celebrated coffee was farmed here in the mid-18th century.
