Mount Healthy National Park
Mount Healthy National Park (Ridge Road, Todman Peak, East End, Tortola) – this park features the intact remains of a thickly walled stone windmill, once part of an 18th century sugar plantation. It is the only such windmill on Tortola. The park can be reached along the road which leads from Ridge Road down to Brewer’s Bay, located on Tortola’s north shore.
The 18th century windmill located at Mount Healthy, belonged to the area’s wealthiest planter. Slaves harvested and processed raw cane into sugar at this extensive sugar cane cultivation. Other ruins on the property included the boiling house, and remnants of the animal mill round, distillery, hospital, storage shed, and housing, some of which can be seen on private property in the area. Free admission. More info can be found at: www.bvinpt.org
