About Cherry Tree Hill
Cherry Tree Hill is the road that climbs beside St Nicholas Abbey, on the border of St. Peter and St. Andrew, and opens onto the Scotland District and the Atlantic coast below. It was once lined with cherry trees, hence the name; according to Visit Barbados they were replaced by the mahogany trees that line the road today. Stop for the view, then visit the Abbey.
