HOW TO GET THERE

Your destination is a coffee growing community called Bangor Ridge. In asking for directions do not use the word Blue Mountains or you will be misdirected by locals. To get to Bangor Ridge, there are two ways from the South or the north of the island. From the north coast the nearest coastal town is Buff Bay in Portland which can be easily found on the road map. Coming from the North Coast, turn up the  Buff Bay Valley, the Road up the buff Bay Valley is in front of the Texaco Gas Station, (ask for  directions to Bangor Ridge), proceed up the Buff Bay Valley for about 10 minutes then ask for the Road to Bangor Ridge, it is a left turn coming from the north. A member of staff will meet you in the square and make all the necessary arrangements for parking and your stay. Approaching from the South (Kingston) the Marker Points are (towns or communities) Papine, then Irish Town, to Newcastle, Hardwar Gap, Section, Cascade and then Mullet Hall, there ask for  directions for the right turn up to Bangor Ridge, from that turn. it's 25 Minutes additional driving.

DO NOT RELY ON GPS IN THE MOUNTAIN TO FIND BANGOR RIDGE.
