| GREENWOOD GREAT HOUSE Greenwood sits high on a hill five miles east of Rose Hall. The two-story stone-and-timber structure was built about 1760 by Sir Richard Barrett, whose family had arrived in Jamaica in the 1660s and amassed a fortune from their sugar plantation. Greenwood was intended primarily for entertaining guests, hence the large ballroom. Unique among local plantation houses, Greenwood survived unscathed during the slave rebellion of Christmas 1831. The house today boasts what it claims ‘the finest antique museum in the Caribbean.’ The original library is still intact, as are oil paintings, Dresden china, a rare collection of musical instruments, a court jester’s chair, and such somber antiques as a mantrap used for catching runaway slaves. The master bedroom is still used by the current owners. Have your camera ready for the spectacular view down over the coast from the verandah.

MARTHA BRAE RAFTING The rafting trip down a three-mile stretch of the Martha Brae is one of the most exhilarating in Jamaica. The journey takes 90 minutes on long bamboo rafts poled by a skilled guide. The upper reaches tumble at a good pace before slowing further down river where you can stop for dips in calm pools. En route, you’ll pass beneath shady glades. The river is named for an Arawak priestess who, according to legend knew the location of a secret gold mine in a cave, by the river. She is said to have lured Spanish gold-seekers to the cave, which she sealed by diverting the course of the river, drowning the conquistadors and securing her secret. The Martha Brae River rises at Windsor Caves in the Cockpit Country and flows 32 miles to Oyster Bay, east of Falmouth. Tropical fish are bred commercially and ornamental water plants are raised in the marshland behind the river mouth.
