The Appleton Estate is located in Nassau Valley in St. Elizabeth which is part of Jamaica’s Cockpit Country. The Cockpit Country is a karst formation that was formed over millions of years as the underlying limestone was eroded by the chemical action of rain.
Within a cockpit karst formation are valleys known as Poljes. They are formed where a river floods, then recede and form a flat valley over millions of years. The soil in the poljes is very fertile and rich in nutrients because of the sediments left behind after the river had receded.
