Chickland is a village in the foothills of Central Trinidad, north of the world-renowned cocoa growing region Gran Couva and south-east of one of the earliest settlement areas for freed slaves Freeport. One of the featured sites in Chickland was the Ajoupa Pottery, which produced intricate and colourful ceramic pieces, such as tables and vanity vases that appear in hotels and villas throughout T&T and the Caribbean. Other nearby attractions include the Temple in the Sea and Hanuman, the tallest statue of a Hindu deity outside of India, which is located in Waterloo. One of the oldest structures in Chickland is the Chickland RC Primary School, which is still operational. On Saturday evenings, it is quickly converted into a church, with evening mass for the congregation.
