The lichen-dotted, sprawling ruins of old Cheshire Hall hold a real sense of history.  There amidst the pine trees and cacti deep within the center of popular  Providenciales, you will learn of the European slave owners who came to this place to create the plantation boom back in the 1700s.  Cheshire Hall once encompassed over 5,000 acres.  Today you can still see the old cotton presses, the dilapidated great hall, and the old slave quarters all made mainly from the local limestone.  It’s also an interesting spot for birdwatching.
