Caribelle Batik at Romney Manor is located at one of St. Kitt's great houses.

This land was originally owned by William Jefferson's, great-great-grandfather of U.S. President Thomas Jefferson.

The nine-acre property has lush gardens and stately ruins to explore.

You can also watch native artisans produce intricate hand-made batik fabrics from locally-grown cotton, using traditional methods and techniques.

Learn how to create batik, then shop for wearable art in the factory store.
