One of your first ports of call should be Brimstone Hill Fortress. Overlooking St Kitts from a 240m-high vantage point, it is one of the most impressive 17th-century fortifications constructed by the British in the Caribbean.

Further throwbacks to British governance of the islands can be seen in Old Road – the Empire’s first town in the Caribbean. It was established by a handful of settlers in 1623 and the architecture has the distinct flavour of an English town. This is also evident at nearby Romney Manor, a former sugar plantation.

The rainforests of this tropical paradise provide wonderful hiking opportunities and a visit to Sofa Rock is simply not to be missed.
