At the rum distillery, award winning rums of exceptional quality are created. Your guide will educate you on the history and rum making process at the Abbey.

This mill was used to grind sugar in the 18th and 19th centuries, but ceased operations since 1947, when steam power was introduced into the local sugar industry. The wind-powered sugar mill is one of the last of its kind and a monument to the once booming sugar industry in Barbados.
