The community of Petersfield  is the home of many of those who work at the Frome Sugar Estate. This rural town has only one street and is one of the oldest townships in Jamaica, dating to the late 17th century when it was the home of sugar workers from the Roaring River Estate. This is a town where the residents take pride in its quiet and its slow pace of life. As noted, the Roaring River is nearby, a natural wonder hidden in the cane county of Westmoreland. The river travels for miles underground before appearing near Petersfield. Here you can see water lilies and lush, green vegetation, and explore the Roaring River cave carved into the cliff there. Don’t miss the deep freshwater sinkhole near the cave – residents say the hole is bottomless – where you can swim in amazingly pure water.
