Fern Gully

Fern Gully, located in North East St. Ann, is in close proximity to Ocho Rios. This 4 kilometres stretch of roadway is lined with many species of ferns on both banks canopied by tall trees, that meet overhead, filtering most of the sunlight to create a cool rain forest condition.

It gets its name from the wide variety of ferns which grow along the gully or gorge that runs through the area. Some may find it a little spooky but it's quite intriguing. The gorge is nearly 3 miles long and it zig-zags as it follows the terrain of the land. It was once a river.

Past visitors have said a trip to this natural wonder is a must-do experience. Nature lovers may enjoy the breathtaking views or the hikes to visit the various waterfalls found throughout the site. Travelers who want to get their adrenaline pumping can swing like Tarzan into the waters below or cliff dive.

🏠🌴 In the 1970s, Mick Jagger lived in a stunning property called "Goldeneye" in Ocho Rios, which was originally owned by author Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond. It's here that Mick found inspiration for some of his music, and where the famous hit “Wild Horses” was written!
