"All these islands are very beautiful, and of quite different shapes... and full of the greatest variety of trees reaching to the stars… there are very lofty and beautiful mountains, great farms, groves and fields." You can only imagine the astonishment that Christopher Columbus must have felt when he first glimpsed the islands of the Caribbean more than 500 years ago. Certainly they would be physically unrecognisable to him now, but that bedrock of natural beauty is little altered and now draws around one million British tourists a year to its palette of sun-enhanced hallucinatory colours.
