We depart the pier to commence a scenic bus ride along the coast, passing the quaint town of Falmouth on our way to Braco Stables.Braco Great House was built in the mid 18th century. It was a successful sugar plantation and refinery, with numerous slaves. The original building still stands and currently houses a pimento leaf oil factory. Oil is extracted from the leaves, through a condensation process. This oil is exported and used in the preservation of meat and also as a base for many perfumes.Trail masters will pair us with a horse to match our riding ability, and then we’re off, weaving our way through the countryside.
