Spur Tree Hill

Spur Tree Hill - On the main south coast road, Three miles south-west of Mandeville

For one of the most spectacular views in Jamaica, travel to Spur Tree Hill in Manchester Parish. The Spur Tree Hill road zig-zags down the length of the steep Don Figueroa Mountains, affording views over the plains of Saint Elizabeth Parish, dotted with small towns and smoke rising from the chimneys of the aluminium plants.

The road is home to several small restaurants, mainly specialising in Jerk food, making Spur Tree Hill a good scenic option if you're looking to break up your journey with a food stop.

Spur Tree is believed to be named after the giant cotton trees which used to adorn the area, billowing out plumes of "spurs" in to the air.

Warning! The zig-zagging steep road is an accident hotspot. If you are driving here then please drive carefully, staying well within the speed limit. If you want to admire the view then stop the car at one of the many restaurants along the way - you can treat yourself to some chicken whilst you're there!
