A guide to St Lucia, designed for either the independent traveller or the package holiday-maker wishing to explore this Caribbean island. It describes the island's history, culture, customs and geography, and goes on to discuss itineraries around the island, including the recently-built west road to Soufriere. There are details on special attractions such as Pigeon Island (the 18th-century British Naval fortress); former plantations; the drive-in volcano; and the colourful market in Castries, the capital. This second edition is updated and revised.
