Ruin sights in Antigua & Barbuda

1. Betty's Hope

   • Antigua & Barbuda
   • Sights › Ruin

   Betty's Hope was Antigua's first sugar plantation, built by Christopher Codrington in 1674, and named in honour of his daughter Betty. Ruins of two stone windmills and a distillery remain on the site, along with a small visitors centre. One windmill has been restored, and the caretaker offers informative tours peppered with historical insights.
