A former river bed, it is now three miles of magnificent ferns and hardwood trees. Jamaica has more than 500 species of ferns, and you can see at least 300 of them in this dark, shaded gorge. Until an earthquake around 1907, the gorge was one of the eight flowing rivers of the Ocho Rios area. The river disappeared during the earthquake and the river bed was turned into a paved road.
The district of Claremont was first called "Finger Post" until it was renamed in honour of the first house built there, "Clermont House". The countryside around the town has for centuries been home to the wealthy landed gentry, and still today is dotted with estate houses. The wealth associated with the area is seen in the architecture and plan of the town; the shops of Claremont High Street exhibit fine architectural detail and finishing.

Richard was a great tour guide. Modified the agenda to meet out wants and needs :) We went thru downtown Ocho, then out into the country where he offered to stop at any of the local shops or bars we saw.
Thank you for choosing Island Jamaica Excursions! We're glad Richard tailored the tour to your needs and showed you the best of downtown Ocho Rios and the countryside. We hope to see you again soon!
