This historic rum distillery is one of the last of its kind in the British Virgin Islands.
Reviewed By ByandBys - Miami, United States
It was the last day they were open for the season, and we were the only two customers there, but it was pretty awesome. If you like history and/or rum this is a gem. Heck even if you hate both of those you should go. We got a tour of the over 200 year old distillery. Got to see the sugarcane, the the distilling process, the barrels. And of course we did a taste testing. I hate rum. This one I loved. Very different and smooth compared to other rums. But I digress. This is definitely worth taking the time to see. And taste.

We were new drivers on the wrong side of the road here, and were hesitatant to take this drive, but found it to be worth every second of our day! We loved the many different views of the stunning beaches and vistas from all across the island! In a heavy rain, this is definitely the road to take to get around rather than the main highway, which gets flooded out easily!

The most intact historic ruin on Tortola was built by the Dutch in the early 17th century to safeguard Road Harbour. It sits on a hill at the western edge of Road Town and is now the site of a small hotel and restaurant. The foundations and magazine remain, and the structure offers a commanding view of the harbor. COST: Free. Daily dawn-dusk.

Only remnants can be seen of this 18th-century church, which was reputedly headed by a pirate priest who used the site's high ground to spy on passing ships.
