Cinchona Gardens excursion.
Sacred fragranced abandonment – these wonderful botanical gardens for all their sad disrepair have the majesty & pedigree of their Kew Gardens designer. They are named after the once highly prized tree from which came quinine – the first treatment for malaria.
Be enveloped by the global varieties of temperate & semi-tropical flowers & trees: from eucalyptus & rubber trees to cork oaks & lilies. Some trees still have identifying labels, but mostly it’s a guessing game which is part of the fun, as well as the Bamboo Walk with its velvety moss floor & views of Strawberry Hill & Liguanea plains.

Beyond the Bean
It is serene and stunning, with friendly people at the farm and in the small neighbouring village. The hiking alone was enough to keep me happy for a week, and I can’t wait to go back on my own nickel as a full-fledged guest. I’m drinking my souvenir Blue Mountain coffee every morning and wishing I were still there.” Kim Kavin
