Barbados Activities and Attractions

Sunbury Plantation House
This atmospheric 17th-century plantation house is the only one on Barbados that can be explored in its entirety. The house has thick stonewalls built of local coral blocks and ballast stones from the English sailing ships that picked up shipments of Barbadian sugar. The interior retains its colonial ambiance and is furnished with antiques, many made from Barbadian mahogany. The articulate guides are well versed in local history, making this the finest plantation tours on the island.

Flower Forest
About 20km (12mi) northeast of the capital sits the Flower Forest, 20ha (50 acres) of tropical flora and meandering paths on a former sugar estate where you can learn the name of virtually every plant on Barbados. The garden has sweeping views of the Chalky Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. A few kilometers south of the Flower Forest is Welchman's Hall Gully, where a trail winds through the island's only remaining rainforest. Nearby Harrison's Cave is a fascinating network of limestone caverns with stalactites and stalagmites, subterranean streams, pools and waterfalls. A battery-powered tram enters the cave, stopping en route to let passengers examine the more impressive sites, such as the huge domed cavern known as the Great Hall.

Barbados Wildlife Reserve
This small free-range zoo, about 25km (16mi) north of Bridgetown, has meandering paths through mahogany woods filled with scurrying green monkeys, sluggish red-footed turtles and a caiman pond. There's also a small aviary with macaws and cockatoos, as well as un caged peacocks and pelicans. About a kilometer farther north are the 17th-century St Nicholas Abbey, one of the oldest plantation houses in the Caribbean, and Francia Plantation, which has formal gardens and is surrounded by fields of vegetables.

Andromeda Botanic Gardens
Along the West Coat by Bathsheba is the location of the Andromeda Botanic Gardens. The Andromeda Botanical Garden, is located in the parish of St .Joseph.

Pottery factories

One of our favorites is the Chalky Mount potteries located just north of Bathsheba. Beautiful potter including cups, bowls, plates, ornamental, etc. in very beautiful original Caribbean colors.

Another favorite is called the Earthworks Pottery & Potter's House located in the Parish of St. Thomas almost due east of Sandy Lane Golf course several miles. Beautiful pottery again with a very large production facility and other arts & crafts as well.
