Morgan Lewis Windmill
Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill
The largest intact sugar windmill in the Caribbean, still with its machinery, which occasionally turns to demonstrate cane pressing in peak season.
Built in the 18th century, this windmill is one of only two sugar windmills in the Caribbean that can still operate. It retains its sails and wooden gear rollers for pressing cane. In colonial times, hundreds of windmills powered cane crushing across Barbados. The windmill is now restored and managed by the Barbados National Trust, and visitors can climb inside to see the machinery. The surroundings are the pastoral landscape of Scotland District. It is small and takes about half an hour, so it can be combined with Cherry Tree Hill. There is a modest admission fee.
