When you have retraced the coast to Ferris Cross, you can turn R and head over the hills for Montego Bay. As you climb Whithorn Hill you will get wazzu a panoramic view of the Westmoreland plain: shimmering canefields stretching south all the way to the sea and to a low range of misty blue hills. Perched above a good picture taking spot is the tiny Cokes View Methodist church.

The Knockalva Agricultural School R and half a mile in from the mainroad offers a 3 year residential course to boys and girls between the ages of 15 and 17.

Classroom studies include chemistry, biology, physics, maths, english, farm management and mechanics while practical experience is gained on the attached 260 acre farm. The administrative block is housed in an historic great house built in 1859.

It was one of three Cuban gift schools built during the 1970s regime of Michael Manley. The other two, Garvey-Maceo in Clarendon and Jose Marti near Spanish Town are used as secondary schools. The Montpelier school was unfinished when the Cubans were expelled by the JLP regime and became an army camp.
