Saint George Gingerland
Saint George Gingerland is an upland and windward parish on Nevis, linking Gingerland's interior villages with the more exposed eastern coast.
Overview
Saint George Gingerland covers much of eastern and southeastern Nevis, where upland settlement gives way to the island's more exposed windward side. It is broader than Gingerland Area, which is the tighter local label for the upland district itself.
The parish is associated with Gingerland, Market Shop, Zion, estate roads, cultivated land, and routes that descend toward places such as Indian Castle Beach. That mix gives it a wider geographic reach than the town page alone.
Its distinct character comes from upland settlement rather than shoreline development. Villages, estate roads, and the descent toward the windward coast give the parish a different feel from both Charlestown and the resort-facing west side.
