Located
in the parish of St.Philip, Sam Lord's Castle is a beautiful Georgian
mansion built in 1820 by the notorious buccaneer Samuel Hall Lord.
Legend
has it that Sam Lord acquired his wealth by plundering
ships, which he lured onto the reefs off the coast, by
hanging lanterns in the coconut trees. Captains mistook
these lights for Bridgetown and wrecked their ships on
the reefs.
