A working plantation
Brimmer Hall is a 2000 acre plantation, still working. It is located not far from Bailey's Vale. Main products are bananas, pineapple, sugarcane and coconuts.
The grounds are centered on a impressive wooden Great House.

Inside the Great House you will find a huge collection of furniture, most with an oriental flavour.
Tours are available from Ocho Rios (for cruise passangers), but you also can visit the plantation on you own.
From Port Maria it is about 6 miles and its open from 9am till 5pm.
