Spooner's Estate is a former sugar plantation dating back to the 18th century, now preserved as a historic attraction. Visitors can wander among the stone ruins of the sugar mill, boiling house, and other industrial structures, which tell the story of the island's sugar industry. The great house has been restored and occasionally hosts events, while the grounds are shaded by mature trees and offer views of the surrounding hills. It's a peaceful place to reflect on the island's history and see how sugar barons once lived.
