In addition to walking through beautiful flower gardens, visitors can hike along a river path, swim in cooling pools, take a zip-line tour through the forest canopy, play croquet and ride donkeys. Gardens at Cranbrook Flower Forest At the entrance to Cranbrook Flower Forest is the restored remains of an old sugar mill. The mill is believed to be around 200 years old and now houses a museum and a gift shop. Many tame peacocks live on site and can usually be found flanking the mill building. Near to the entrance is a pathway lined with royal palms, leading to a pagoda which overlooks the Little River. This tranquil setting is often used as a venue for weddings. Further on there is a series of landscaped gardens. One of which contains a recreation of a traditional Arawak village, showing the kind of housing the Taino Indians lived in prior to the discovery of Jamaica by the Spanish. There is also a garden with a children's play area, featuring swings and a see-saw.
