Das Wingfield Estate befindet sich in der Nähe der Altstadt, in der Nähe von Romney Manor und Caribelle Batik. Es ist mit dem Auto erreichbar oder Sie können an einer geführten Tour teilnehmen, die zusammen mit anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten in St. Kitts am Wingfield Estate hält. Viele Besucher der Insel schätzen letzteres, da Sie eine historische Tour durch das Gelände des Wingfield Estate erhalten.
Wingfield Estate is located along Old Road on the west coast of St. Kitts, about a 20-minute drive from Basseterre’s city center. Drive or take a taxi, since buses don’t reach Old Road Town. Parking is available on site.
The estate is open irregularly, dependent on demand. Call ahead or go as part of a tour that would set up arrangements for you. Peak season runs from December to April, during which time the biggest event of the year, National Carnival (also known as Sugar Mas), ignites the island in the run up to Christmas and New Year. For a more quiet time, visit between May and July when crowds dwindle and temperatures are not as hot and humid.
Next door to Wingfield Estate is another former sugar plantation. The 17-century Romney Manor has been given new life as one of the island’s most beloved local craft shops, Caribelle Batik, where you may shop for gorgeous hand-dyed batik fabrics and apparel and watch women artisans at work, demonstrating their signature batik dyeing process.. While here, make time to explore the grounds featuring gorgeous tropical botanical gardens and a host of ancient Carib petroglyphs on lava rocks.
