Please Note: The satellite
images used on the map below are a few years old and there
have been many shops and other facilities built in the area
since they were taken. Most significantly is the completion of
Cagans crossing which is just north of High Grove and there
has also been a number of shops and restaurants built around
Wal-Mart (just north of High Grove on the opposite side of the
US27).
The land directly next to
the entrance to High Grove is now home to a small number of
shops and a Irish pub, ideal if you fancy a bite to eat and a
couple of drinks. Even better as its just a couple of minutes
walk from the villa so no one has to drive!
To move the map just hold
