 Rosemount Falls waterfall and Rosemount estate on Grenada
Rosemount Falls are privately owned and are only available to persons lunching at the Rosemount Plantation House. Rosemount Estate is inland from Gouyave. Take the road by the Texaco gas station and turn right at the sign to Waterloo. From Grenville, take the Clozier road north of Birch Grove.
It makes an excellent lunchtime venue (Call473-444-8069) as you progress up the leeward coast or hike the Grand Etang area. Originally called the Montrose Estate, the name was changed when the British took control of Grenada in the 1760s.
During Fedon’s Rebellion, slaves fled from Rosemount to Gouyave, enticed by French ideals of freedom and the fear of the French finding them in service to the British.

 Concord Falls is actually a series three very picturesque waterfalls and are ideally suited for swimming. The first waterfall Concord Falls is accessible by road, the second Au Coin falls, and the third Fontainbleu falls are only accessible by foot.
Time: 1-2 hours. Difficulty: 2-3, slipper rocks. Trailhead: Drive to the Concord Valley and Concord River from the west coast. This is the drive-in approach, the one most visitors take. However, the majority of people see only the first waterfall, look and leave; only a few take the extra 20 minutes to walk to the upper falls. At the lower or first falls you can buy drinks as well as paddle around in the basin at the foot of the 35-foot high falls.
The lowest of the three is a very popular swimming area, camping spot, and tourist attraction, with modern facilities surrounding its generous swimming area.
Headed toward the upper falls, you'll pass through a nutmeg plantation.
The next falls, Au Coin falls takes about twenty minutes' Hiking up the river are definitely worth the short walk, as they are much less visited and even more beautiful. The 40 ft/12 m cascade plunges down through the thick vegetation to an inviting pool that offers a much more tranquil swim than you will find at the lower falls.
