Martha Brae River

Martha Brae River
Country Jamaica

The Martha Brae River is a river of Jamaica. It is located (primarily?) in Trelawny Parish on the north coast of Jamaica, towards the western edge, about 6 miles south of Falmouth, Trelawny, Jamaica. The river features rafting.

A small village west of the river is named Martha's Brae because of this nearby river. Northwest of the village is Gun Hill, where judge John Bradshaw was reportedly re-buried by his son James Bradshaw, to prevent desecration of his father's remains by King Charles II of England.
