Wallilabou Heritage Park is a lovely, peaceful place with picnic spot, restaurant, pool and small waterfall. It sits on the Wallilabou River on the Leeward coast of St. Vincent, near Wallilabou Bay and the site of the film Pirates of the Caribbean. Large Samaan trees cover the pool and its adjacent areas, creating a relatively cool micro-climate for the core area of the park. These and other plants create a habitat for several species of birds. Large boulders reflect the lands geological history and create landscape interest. The park was at one time a plantation; a thick stone wall built across the river is a legacy of the plantation - each of the two streams flowing from the waterfall passes through a hole in the stone wall.

Tucked away at the end of a rough road at the top of the valley above Mesopotamia – the SVG version – St Vincent's other botanical gardens are in many ways superior to its more famous Kingstown counterparts. Surrounded by craggy mountains and rolling hills, the setting is spectacular and the gardens themselves are a deliciously lush and colorful affair awash with birdsong.

La Soufrière violently erupted in 1718, 1812, 1902, 1971, and 1979. The Saint Vincent eruption of 6 May 1902, just hours before the eruption of Mount Pelée on Martinique, killed 1,680 people. The death zone, where almost all persons were killed, was close to entirely Carib. This last large remnant of Carib culture was destroyed,[2] the island of Dominica's Carib Territory being much smaller in comparison at that time.
The last recorded eruption was in April 1979; due to advance warning there were no casualties.
