Saint Patrick Parish, Grenada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Patrick is one of the parishes of Grenada, covering the north of the country. A spectacular coastline with several fine bays faces several small islands to the north. It's most famous beach is Bathway. The town of St. Patrick's is Sauteurs. One of the most famous landmarks in the town is the Lepers' Hill, where it is said that the Caribs jumped over to escape colonization from the French.

Several volcanic cones and craters are located within the parish, such as the Punchbowl and Lake Antoine.

For much of the last century, the parish was heavily agricultural with several large estates accounting for a significant share of cocoa and nutmeg production in Grenada.
