The Moncrieffe “Mill Property” is located at an elevation of 560’ at the SE corner of the St. John plateau, which overlooks the East coast of Barbados and which, further inland, rises to over 800’ making it the second highest plateau on the island. The East to West trade wind of this latitude blows from the coast of Africa, across 2000 miles of Atlantic Ocean, until it makes its first landfall at the East coast of Barbados. When the trade winds reach Barbados, they are driven up by the elevated plateau and drop their rain on its slopes, making it one of the most verdant areas of the island. The adiabatic effect results in a slightly cooler and drier climate on top of the plateau. At the Moncrieffe Mill Property, a well-designed home, which allows for proper air flow, will not need air conditioning, a considerable saving in operating cost. In fact, some people who live in this area will use a light blanket when sleeping at night, during the winter months.
