One of the great Jamaican Georgian plantation houses which is now run as a historic house museum. Perch on top of a hill with stunning views of the ocean, the historic house offers a glimpse into the country's rich history.
Rose Hall is a Jamaican Georgian plantation house now run as a historic house museum. It is located in Montego Bay, Jamaica with a panoramic view of the coast. Thought to be one of the country's most impressive plantation great houses, it had fallen into ruins by the 1960s, but was then restored. The museum purports to showcase the history of enslaved people of the estate and the legend of the White Witch of Rose Hall.

Mayfield Falls is the less-touristy option and much calmer than Dunn's Falls. They are a 1½-hr drive south-west from MoBay. For an entrance fee of $15 local guides offer 1½-hr tours where you climb up the falls and return on a short trek. The tour includes jumping in pools, diving through tunnels and climbing stones. Jumping from a high tree might also be possible. You might ask your guide for an unofficial "nature tour" which takes you 2 hr up the falls through fields (maybe ganja as well) and means climbing the falls down. With driving there you will also have the chance to see rural life on Jamaica as you pass through little farmer villages.
