Discover New Memories
Basseterre is the capital of St Kitts and Nevis and one of the oldest cities in the Caribbean, dating back to the mid 17th century when it was founded by the French. It then passed into British hands and today is the center of this independent island nation. Many visitors to St Kitts may simply pass through the port or use Basseterre as the gateway to the islands volcanic peaks and beach resorts, but the city is brimming with history. Walk the colorful, colonial-inspired streets and visit the fascinating museums to learn more about St Kitts and Nevis.
Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that protects and preserves the historic Brimstone Fortress. This vast, towering network of fortifications was constructed by the British on Brimstone Hill to protect one of the country’s first overseas colonies. Learn more about St Kitts’ long history of war and conflict between European powers amongst the fortress’ old walls, bastions and bunkers, and enjoy the spectacular views from the hilltop.
If hiking tall volcanoes isn’t your thing, then the best way to experience St Kitts’ natural beauty is to take a ride on the Scenic Railway. This is one of the only rail lines on any Caribbean island, and it was originally built by estate owners to move sugar across the island from the plantations and was known as the Sugar Train. The train journey takes tourists through the wild, green and beautiful scenery of St Kitts, past beaches and in the shadow of volcanoes, for a train ride like no other in the world. Climb aboard a rail car for a train ride through St. Kitts:
The history and culture of St Kitts is inseparable from slavery and estates, as the island was colonized by Europeans as a way to make money from valuable sugar cane plantations. These plantations are found across the island and some are now even hotels. Visit the Wingfield Estate, the oldest on St Kitts, to learn more about the darker history of the island before exploring the nearby Romney Manor to not only learn about the islands history, but also to see the vibrant, contemporary, cultural exhibitions on show here today.
For a gorgeous view of the island of St Kitts, take a day while vacationing on the Caribbean isle to head up to the top of Timothy Hill. A popular lookout spot located a short distance from Frigate Beach, Timothy Hill provides a view of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean where it meets the Caribbean Sea. Within the two bodies of water you’ll see lush, green foliage and the gently sloping hills of the southeast peninsula of St Kitts from your vantage point above.

Home of Caribelle Batik. Owned and managed by successive Earls of Rommney over the centuries, no visit to St. Kitts is complete without a tour of the historic Romney Manor and its pristine gardens. In this majestic setting, the fascinating process of Caribelle Batik will be demonstrated and everything from casual wear, accessories, and gift items made of Caribelle Batik are available for sale right on the premises. All one of a kind. Another constant of Romney Manor has been its 400-year-old SAMAN tree. If trees could talk, this one would tell the entire story the Caribbean.
Black Rocks, also refered to as Black Stone, is the name of a notable rock formation on the northeastern coast of the island of St Kitts. Located close to the town of Saddlers, the rocks consist of lava flow from the volcanic Mount Liamuiga which dominates the northern half of the island of St Kitts.
Originally called Pall Mall Square, it was renamed when St. Kitts and Nevis achieved political independence on September 19th, 1983. The Government first acquired Pall Mall Square in 1750 and it rapidly became the administrative, commercial, and social center of Basseterre. As slave ships arrived in Basseterre, they were quartered in the basement of the building before being sold in the middle of The Square.

After reaching its peak in the late 1700s, the production of sugar declined throughout the nineteenth century, nearly ceasing altogether on several occasions in the last hundred years. The growing of sugar beet in Europe, the emancipation of slaves, and the increase in the number of countries growing sugarcane worldwide, all contributed to depress the industry in St. Kitts and to threaten the island’s entire economy. The industry was saved from extinction in 1912 by the opening of the central sugar factory, capable of processing the whole of the island’s crop. This replaced the individual mills and boiling-houses on the various estates. It came into operation just in time for the revival in the price of sugar brought about by the first world war. The public opening of the factory took place on the 20th of February 1912, and it was ready to process its first crop on the 9th of March.This the factory was actually working within a year of the date on which the machinery was ordered. Three years after all the sugar estates were nationalized in 1974, the government acquired the St. Kitts Sugar Factory. The Sugar Factory remains a national treasure and major heritage site.
When the English arrived in the seventeenth century, and were allowed to settle between the two rivers (Wingfield and East Rivers) at Old Road, the Caribs were concentrated in the area around the Wingfiled River. After the evictions of the Caribs in 1629, the English settled the lands in the area and cultivated tobacco, ginger, indigo, and cotton. With the introduction of sugar in the 1640’s Wingfiled developed into a major sugar plantation and one of the very few on the island to use water to power its factory works. The aqueduct is a unique architectural feature on the island and found only at Wingfiled Estate Yard. The nearby river and its forested watershed has always been a major resource for the area. Like all plantations on St. Kitts, Winfield provided for its own fresh water needs. Since the 19th Century it has formed part of the public water supply system serving the population on the leeward side of the island.
St. Thomas' Church - Middle Island is the oldest Anglican Church in the west indies, introduced shortly after the arrival the island of St. Kitts of the eponymous Caption Thomas Warner, in 1623, Warner arrived with a crew of twenty and settled the first European colony on the island. in 1625,Caption Warner returned from a successful trip back to England to sell the tobacco crop grown by the new settlers, and brought with him the Reverend John Teatly (also spelt "Featley"). Former member of the Magdalene College and fellow of the Souls, Oxford, he became Rector of Middle Island from 1625-1634, establishing the first Anglican congregation on the island.
Experiences in Nevis
Saddle Hill Fortress stands as a reminder of British Admiral Lord Nelson’s presence on the island of Nevis. Designed as a fallback position in case of invasion, Nelson is said to have used it as a lookout point, though the fort was never equipped with weapons. Today, visitors come to enjoy great views from the observation post.
The highest point on the island of Nevis, Nevis Peak is a tree-covered, and now-dormant, volcano. Although it has not erupted since prehistoric times, there are still signs of volcanic activity in the area, including jets of steam and natural hot springs. Hiking to the peak is a popular activity for adventurous visitors.
Thought to be the first tourist hotel in all of the Caribbean, the opulent Bath Hotel was built on Nevis in 1787 to provide visitors easy access to the on-site volcanic hot springs. The mineral laden waters from the Bath Stream were believed to have healing properties, and the water temperature consistently stays around 107 degrees thanks to underground volcanic activity. Over the centuries, the hotel and the original spring house have experienced cycles of disrepair and restoration—today the hotel is partially used as government offices—but visitors can still take to the waters in the stream itself or in a bathing pool on the grounds. After a soak, take time to explore the once immaculately manicured property, home to the “Garden of Jericho,” where Captain Horatio Nelson’s wedding was held in 1787.
An initiative by the Nevis tourist board, the heritage village includes a Carib-style thatched-roof hut such as a tribal chief might have lived in, containing actual relics including calabash bowls, clay pots, and tribal weapons. There are also wattle and daub huts of the type lived in by plantation slaves, and a post-emancipation gingerbread-style chattel house. These are set within the ruined grounds of the former Fothergills sugar mill.
Travel St-Kitts & Nevis With Local Tour Guides
History of St-Kitts & Nevis
St Christopher, (St Kitts), was sighted by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage in 1493. It was colonised by the English under Sir Thomas Warner in 1623 and during the following centuries, sugar was grown on plantations worked by enslaved Africans.
Already in 1624, however, another part of the island was colonised by the French (who also used slaves on their estates), the two powers fought over the island during the 17th and 18th century until St Kitts was ceded to Britain by the Treaty of Versailles (1783).
Nevis was settled by the English in 1628. It, too, was subject to attack, from the French and Spanish, in the 17th and 18th centuries, with less damage, however, to its economy. From 1816 the islands were administered, along with Anguilla and the British Virgin Islands, as a single colony and from 1871 as part of the Leeward Islands Federation.
