When you are present in person at Brimstone Hill, you’ll lose yourself in time as you will be down the corridors of time and see how our peoples got free, what struggles they overcame, what victories they scored and see the evolution of the plain we now call home. There’s so much to see, to learn, to savour, to enjoy. You’ll want to go through a well laid out museum, and when you come to the end you’ll want to do it all over again. I am on the inside, you’ll have to come here to see what I truly mean. Brimstone Hill is a WORLD WONDER!! As you stand at the summit beside large cannons, trained over the waters of the Caribbean Sea, you could only picture the awesome power of the guns as they warred in unison to defend the island. They had to, because St. Kitts was the cradle of the British power in the Caribbean then. They had their vested interest in the island, but that’s not what I want you to see - I want for you to see tranquility at it’s best – the glass turquoise waters stretching endless as far as the eyes can imagine and the sleepy town of Sandy Point and it’s neighbors, nestled harmlessly below. As you stand upon the dome of the rock, there’s so much to explore, what I wrote may excite you – and make you plan multiple visits. Of course it will do its good, a world of good.
Entrance to Summit Brimstone Hill is a well thought out marriage of history and beauty. No visitor should grace the shores of St. Kitts and never take time to pay a visit. The beauty of nature with the rich foliage as one enters the winding road to the hill-top takes the breath away. The history of the island, the Caribbean, the Americas, unfold before your very eyes. I can’t oversell – after you visit, you'll have your very own unique story to tell. Discover yourself.
If you like adventure, Brimstone Hill with its winding vines
clasping and blossoming foliage, well mown plains, winding steep tunnels,
and panoramas of cascading beauty would hypnotize you to be here in St.
Kitts. The awesome power of a restored fort, watching over a pristine
laidback tower of Sandy Point, and the call of the wild is something you
dare not ignore. St. Kitts Today in this the 21st century, you would be just as stunned as the Europeans of 300 years ago to see St. Kitts – a thing of beauty. The slave labour that built Brimstone Hill performed a magnificent regiment feat to put such a work of art together. Come see the skilled water catchment, the tunnels, the stores, the personal skills of the men at work and decide if you won’t consider Brimstone Hill as one of the World’s great wonders. Come see and prove us wrong!!
