Introducing Mandeville
Imperturbable Mandeville lounges 610m above sea level on a plateau of the eastern flank of the Don Figuerero Mountains. Climbing up to Jamaica’s fifth largest town, you’re immediately conscious of the almost springlike coolness that marks Manchester Parish’s capital and drew many British settlers in the 19th century. In the 1950s, these expats were joined by North Americans working in the bauxite industry, giving the town a cosmopolitan aura.
