Reserved for Heritage Tourism, Dumfries holds 200 years of fascinating history. It is the site of artifacts of historical significance as well as an old lime factory and cotton ginnery.
High North Nature Reserve
This is the highest peak on Carriacou at 955 feet – just a foot taller than the second highest peak Chapeau Carre. It allows breathtaking views of Grenada to the south and St. Vincent to the north and is cooled by the trade winds. The National Park offers tours by trained nature guides who take you through trails to see iguanas, manicous, boa constrictors, ramiers, hummingbirds, the gumbo limbo tree (Gommier) and the majestic silk cotton tree. Carriacouans have an ancient tradition of using medicinal plants, many of which you will get a chance to see here.
The Museum
Described as “the best little museum in the Caribbean”, this museum houses a collection of precious items which describe the island’s history. Grenada at a Glance
Displays of the traditional dances Big Drum and Quadrille and highlights of Carriacou’s four major festivals are showcased here. A collection of native paintings from the famous artist, violinist and shipwright Canute Calliste is also on display.
Ningo well
This is one of the earliest wells built on Carriacou by a freed slave. It is located near the historic Tibeau cemetery where land erosion caused some of the graves to float out to sea.
Oyster Beds
These are considered safe havens for boats during storms and are located within the marine protected area. A short boat ride will take you to the middle of one of the few pristine ecosystems in the region where the Cassiopea (upside down jelly fish) and oysters grow on the roots of the mangrove.
Vendors Market
The vendors market was created to give local vendors an opportunity to showcase their talents and earn a living. Handmade jewellery, mats and wall art woven from recycled fabrics can be found, as well as delicious smoothies and fresh, organically grown fruits and vegetables. 108
