Rockfort Spa

Parish: Kingston

The origins of the Rock Fort Spa is uncertain, but it is believed to have appeared miraculously following the 1907 earthquake. The water which is very radioactive, is piped from a cold spring in the surrounding hills.

The spa which is operated commercially has several bathhouses, supplied with warm water, and a large swimming pool.

Like the other mineral spas, Rock Fort Mineral Spa is believed to have healing properties.
