Local Life

Mandeville or ‘Little England’ as it’s fondly called (by expat British residents) has beautiful green spaces, handsome buildings and stone-walled pastures reminiscent of a typical English countryside town. Over 2000 feet above sea level visitors can enjoy a spot of golf, shopping in the mall or bartering in the markets, taking scenic walks or even horseback riding.
