- Irish Town - Irish Town’s history dates back to the 17th century when Irish settlers arrived in Jamaica during British colonization.

- Newcastle JDF Camp - Newcastle JDF Camp, situated in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, boasts a rich military history dating back to 1841. Established by the British army, it was created as a hill station to provide a cooler, healthier environment for British soldiers who were suffering from tropical diseases in Kingston’s warmer, more humid climate. Positioned at over 4,000 feet above sea level, the camp offers breathtaking views of Kingston and the surrounding mountains.
Today, Newcastle serves as a training facility for the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF), maintaining its military significance. The camp is renowned for its picturesque setting and historic architecture, with old stone buildings that reflect its colonial past.
