Position from Wikipedia (Mount Healthy windmill). National Parks Trust: the windmill was part of a 250-acre plantation with terraced cane fields; across the road are the ruins of an animal mill, boiling house, distillery, hospital and living quarters. Wikipedia notes it supplied the sugar works and rum distillery at Brewers Bay. A short stop on Ridge Road / Mount Healthy Drive by taxi or rental car, combined with Brewers Bay; no trail details or fees are published, so contact the Trust (1 284 393 9284, bvinpt@bvinpt.org).
