Providenciales, Turks & Caicos - Cheshire Hall Plantation HD (2013)
Providenciales is an island in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The island has an area of 98 km2 (38 sq mi) and an approximate population of 32,000, making it the largest island in population and the third largest in area. It is served by the Providenciales International Airport. Providenciales was ranked the best beach destination in the world by TripAdvisor in 2011.
As recently as 1964, Providenciales did not have a single wheeled vehicle. Following in the footsteps of Club Med, the island's first large hotel and casino complex opened in 1984 and touched off a development boom. Provo is now the most tourist-oriented and developed of the Turks and Caicos Islands, boasting many resort hotels and an 18-hole golf course. The island has recently become popular with retirees from around the world, kindling a boom of residential development. Grace Bay has seen many luxury condos built on its shores, however the settlements of Turks Islanders still provide a local flair to the island.
The resorts on Providenciales are primarily centered on 5 miles (8.0 km) long Grace Bay. Apart from the beaches, the island's charm lies in its rugged hills and ridges, which are carpeted with prickly pear cactus and scrub. The trump card, however, remains the world class diving: miles and miles of coral reefs are close to shore and the island is close to a common migration route for the Humpback whale. Providenciales is surrounded by uninhabited cays that are easily reached by chartered boat or excursion.
Before Provo became a popular tourist destination, there were three small centers of population: Blue Hills, The Bight (on Grace Bay) and Five Cays. Now many houses have been built, predominantly in the east and south, with larger communities at Leeward, Long Bay and Chalk Sound, as well as expansion of the original three settlements. There are also pockets of makeshift shacks interspersed among the more upscale residences.
Grace Bay has grown to be a major tourist destination with many hotels and condominiums built on the beach front.
The communities of Downtown and Kew Town are located near the airport. The major road, the Highway, runs east—west from Downtown to Leeward. Most of the island's services are near the Highway, including upscale shopping malls. They are also found in the commercial developments of Grace Bay, in support of the tourism market.
Opportunities for sightseeing and hiking are reasonable. There are remnants of Caribbean pirates at Osprey Rock and Sapodilla Hill, and the ruins of Cheshire Hall, a 1790s plantation house constructed by British loyalists, are also notable.
The western half of Providenciales is mostly barren wilderness, home to the island's best natural attraction, Chalk Sound National Park. The park is a 3 miles (4.8 km) long bay southwest of Downtown. The color of the water is a uniform turquoise and studded with countless mushroom-like tiny islets. Also on the western part of the island is Northwest Point Marine National Park, which extends to nearby reefs and several saline lakes that attract breeding and migrant waterfowl.
1700's Abandoned Cotton Plantation Ruins(Turks and Caicos Islands)
**My Apologizes on Video Quality, upload was done from the island and internet service was slow, making video look distorted and glitchy. Hopefully the content of the video however is still good.**
Ruins of an abandoned cotton plantation. Plantation was started by British loyalist who fled the colonies after they lost the war. This is the oldest national landmark, which is man made, still in existence on the islands.
Cheshire Hall Plantation History:
The best preserved set of plantation-era ruins on Providenciales and thus the most important site for cultural heritage on the island.
The Loyalist were original American colonists who remained faithful to England during the Revolutionary War. By 1778, when the British armies pulled out of the southern states, thousands of Loyalist abandoned their holdings there and fled, along with their slaves, to British-held Florida and later to the Bahamas, which then included the Turks & Caicos Islands.
Thomas Stubbs, brother of Wade Stubbs owner of Wade’s Green Plantation (Bellefield) convinced Thomas to seek his fortune in the Caicos Islands. Thomas Stubbs settled on Providenciales (then known as Blue Caicos) in the late 1700s and name his plantation after his home county. The buildings were constructed from locally cut limestone.
Up to the early 1800s, Cheshire Hall was the most important site on Providenciales and at its height was comprised of about five thousand acres and employed hundreds of slaves.
Cheshire Hall has several ship graffiti inscribed on a lower exterior wall at the rear of the (main) building.
Cheshire Hall is recognized as the most important of the pre-modern historical sites on Providenciales.

Feiyu GoPro Gimbal Order -
The Feiyu G3 Ultra gimbal is an affordable way to drastically improve GoPro video quality. Like a gimbal on a drone, the handheld Feiyu gimbal works to keep the video horizontal. This results in a more watchable video that also looks as if the GoPro camera itself was flying! This gimbal is not waterproof and there are also wires that are exposed externally. It’s definitely a tool that one should not simply throw in a backpack while not in use. I kept the original box, as it does a great job in my opinion to better protect the gimbal while not in use. With that said, the build quality feels nice in my opinion but it’s definitely not made for abuse like many monopods are. It comes with 4 batteries (there is one extra) and a USB battery charger with wall plug. It also includes a cable for firmware updates. I doubt that I’ll ever attempt to update the firmware though, as my Feiyu G3 gimbal worked perfectly right out of the box! I use it in conjunction with a naked GoPro HERO4 Black and it works great! I even attached a UV filter to the GoPro HERO4 Black and that didn’t create any problems for me.
Filmed with Sony FDR-AX100 camcorder in 4K UltraHD. Intro portion filmed with GoPro HERO4 Black camera. Contains royalty-free music from YouTube Content Creator Audio Library.
