The peasant settlement of Orange Hill, in the parish of St. James, lies midway between the highest land in Barbados, and the leeward coast. It is set around the bluff of the second lowest of a series of terraces of marine origin, which are best developed on this side of the island. Sugar plantations which surround the village cover much of this and the lower terrace, gradually giving way near the coast to a high rental resort strip along the shore line. The great majority of the peasant population of Barbados lives in small villages of which Orange Hill is in many ways typical.
