Known now as Heron Hill, this is the site of the tomb of Captain Alexander Woodburn Heron, one of the largest landowners in Jamaica in the 19th century. He had many plantations on the island, including Wigton, Williamsfield, Kendal, Glasgow, Chudleigh, and Mile Gully. Legend has it that the Captain wanted to be buried at this location so he could look out on all his lands. Currently owned chiefly by the Windalco Bauxite Company, the old gravesites are still open to visitors. Be ready to take a bit of a hike to the site, but the view is definitely worthwhile.On a clear day, you can see Blue Mountain Peak 60 miles away.
