This iconic landmark was built in 1780 and was a former plantation home of a wealthy Englishman named William Eden. Eden was the plantation owner and brought over Jamaican slaves to help build Pedro St. James from a humble home to a three-story castle. The castle has since been purchased and restored by the government and is now a place where tourists can tour its hallways for a glimpse of its iconic artifacts and furniture, which you'll also experience while visiting the castle. Head outdoors and enjoy a stroll admiring its vivid gardens and Heritage Garden. Get your camera ready to take the breathtaking views of the Tea House and lake---the breeding ground for endangered birds and the natural residence of blue iguanas. You'll also spend time exploring the late 1990s-built Botanic Park, where you enjoy a quiet stroll through its gardens before returning to George Town. With its historical roots and vivid gardens, you can count on getting an exciting cultural experience when visiting Pedro St. James Castle and Botanic Park.
