Description: Eco-consciousness on the island was enhanced by the opening of the Franklyn Water Wheel and Nature Park, at Arnos Vale Estate, Franklyn Road, Plymouth (tel. 868/660-0815). This is the site of Tobago's best-preserved water wheel, which once provided power to a sugar estate. The 12-acre estate has walking trails, a restaurant, an outdoor theater, and the old machinery, for the most part still in place. On the trails, you may see butterflies and iguanas, plus mango and citrus orchards where you can pick your own fresh fruit.
