Interesting place. The diorama in the building is amazing to see.
Beautiful structures. Love the museum and the goats roaming around
Love this place only been once but the view is stunning the sugar mill tells the history just buy looking at it I would recommend going n having a look at the views
It's alright not much to see or do. But you should definitely take a few pics.
Road in sad need of repair. Could use more narrative if you continue to to it it as an island "must see".
Try to stop by here if you drive by the area. The museum has exhibits on the island and the plantation as well. It is located in what used to be the stables and is just one room. Most of the property is in ruins with the exception of the stables and a windmill that looks to have been restored recently. Definitely worth of stop considering the 2usd entry fee.
The Betty's Hope Historic Sugar Plantation is one of Antiguas better known sugar plantation especially in recent years, this historic point or place of interest rather is crucial to the understanding of Antigua's colonial past. The twin mill sugar plantation was famous for its milling capacity back in those days and the restored and preserved mills now stands as relics to that bygone era.
I am intrigued by the rich history of the place and also by the restoration work being done and the durability of some of the structures on the historic site. The grounds have been the venue for various events, some historic in nature and it has seen many field trips from various educational institution on Island. The Water Catchment, The Gift ship/Museum, The restored Sugar Mill and the Ruin of The Great House plus the "Slave" quarters all brings history alive and somehow makes more real. The well kept grounds with the labelled exotic and indigenous plant species are of great interest in their own right.
Betty's Hope Historic Sugar Plantation is a must for anyone in Antigua and it is still of great historical interest and value for all of us.
Ruins of what used to be a famous sugar plantation with a little museum explaining the history of the plantation and the area some of the places are missing the explanation plaques lot of history and a reconstructed wind mill We couldn't enter the mill, don't know if entrance is allowed.
Great restored sugar mill, nothing else tho
It transcends the rich history of the island.
If history is your thing, this is certainly worth checking out! You can climb around and explore the ruins to your heart's content.
It is small.
Historic site
Not a lot to see but museum is interesting !
Beautiful
Relatively small (a lot of ruins) but peaceful now, especially compared to it's past. Lots of history in the visitor's centre and you are free to explore almost everywhere. The restoration of the windmill helps picture the other mill ruins dotted all over the island. It has a small suggested donation ($3) which is worth it if only to help keep it for the next generation.
The area is quite hilly (it is for windmills after all) but accessible by car for those with limited mobility.
Nice
