Mr. T expressed to me how spiritual this area made him feel. He said that the caves contain escape routes that were used by slaves to escape their owners and that they extend for miles. I've tried to find some history on this and haven't been very successful but perhaps someone on this board can steer me in the right direction.

One of the guides told me that many of the people that reside in this town are employees of the Frome Sugar Factory.

Here are some of the pictures entering the Roaring River area. It all seemed to be abandoned but maybe there is more activity on the weekends. Apparently several tour buses visit the area. I had asked a local there about a series of little buildings and he said they used to house a craft market. I feel like this area may have had it going on at one time from a tourism standpoint but it did seem there was a big lack of maintenance in the area when I visited (particularity in the Cave area).
