Top Hill St Elizabeth Jamaica
Top Hill St Elizabeth is a small residential district which stands between Junction and Southfield St Elizabeth.
This district is on the south side of St Elizabeth where elevated areas enjoy a fantastic view of the Caribbean Sea. The area has a Primary School; is home for the Marantha School for the Deaf and a Home for the Aged.
Places of Interest
Being a residential area, places of high interest are few here, but I have found at least one house which dates back over 100 years still standing strong in its original form.
Places of interest in St Elizabeth are easily accessible from here. These include Lovers Leap, YS Falls, Little Ochie Seafood Restaurant at Alligator Pond and Black River Safari.
The coves of Treasure Beach and Alligator Pond are within easy travelling distances.

You can get to Top Hill St Elizabeth from Kingston or Montego Bay airports. The ride from Kingston airport picks up Highway 2000 off Mandela Highway which goes through to the May Pen leg and then back on the main through Clarendon, Manchester and into St Elizabeth.
At taxi or a pick up from either airports will get you there within approx 3 hrs, traffic allowing. Airport pickup or drop off might set you back approx $200 for 1-4 persons. Distance is approx 110km.

There is not much activity in Top Hill apart from everyday living. Entertainment for residents here is often special events organized by local entrepreneurs, schools and church and other groups.

Where to eat
For eating out, Junction, Lovers Leap (rest) and Treasure Beach are easily accessible. Reliable transport will be needed as taxis in south St Elizabeth are not readily available late into the night.
Safety
This is a quiet sleepy district for the most part and safety is not a big issue but street smarts must always be applied in all circumstances.
The People
The people as with the majority of the districts of south St Elizabeth are predominantly farmers with a mix of professionals, entrepreneurs and self employed.
