Situated on Abercrombie Hill (also known as Parker Hill), just South of and overlooking Castries and the North of the Island, the residence is accessed via the Pavee Road, then by way of its private driveway. Formerly known as “Norwood” or “Parker House”, the existing structure was built using the original stone walls of the building that was first constructed in the late 1890’s. These stone walls, of a workmanship not used nowadays - although senior contractors pay visits with their apprentices to the house in order that they may study the excellence of the craftsmanship of the stonework - vary between two and two and a half feet thick.

Qualibou, billed as the “world’s only drive-in volcano,” is an awesome sight. Steam rises from craters; pools of black liquid like vats of squid ink roil. Once, you could walk across the caldera, but not any longer. About 20 years ago, we’re told, a guide decided to demonstrate the integrity of the ground by jumping up and down on it. He fell through a hole of his own making, and when he was pulled out-alive, amazingly-he was horribly burned. “Some people,” says our guide, gesturing at the hissing earth, “believe there is a god sleeping in there.” Presumably, one who doesn’t suffer fools.
