AMAZING PLACES IN BARBADOS

Barbados is a sovereign country in Lesser Antilles, in America, located between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It was a British colony from 1627 until it gained its independence from Britain in 1966, and many relics from those times remain there. Although it seems a small island it has, however, a lot of amazing and historic places to visit.

Andromeda Botanic Gardens

   The Andromeda Botanic Garden is located in the parish of St. Joseph with a spectacular view to the Atlantic Ocean. This botanic garden with over 600 species of plants, where most of them are tropical, was once a private garden of Iris Bannochie (a Barbadian horticulturalist) in 1954.

Harrison's Cave

   To visit this cave, visitors travel by solar-powered electric trams into this marvelous place to see all the shapes, shadows and sparkles created by nature. Besides, they stop in some places such as a waterfall to a closer view and the tour guides explain some absorbing facts as well as how the stalactites and stalagmites have been formed.

St. James Parish Church

   This church, located in Holetown, St. James; it’s not the same as it was created once. The original church was made of a wooden structure in 1628. However, due to the damage made by the hurricane in 1780, it was to be restored, so that the present-day church we know was built in 1800. On the other hand, there are some features that remain, such as the 17^th church bell and baptismal font.

Farley Hill National Park

   This fantastic place was once the site of a great house from the 19^th century, where George V stayed twice, and now there are just the remnants of that mansion. However, that doesn’t mean this place has lost its beauty. In fact, it is usually used for weddings and picnics.

Morgan Lewis Mill

   Morgan Lewis Mill, located in the northern parish of St. Andrew, is the last sugar windmill in Barbados and one of the two intact sugar mills in the world. It is for the efforts for its conservation why this mill endures and, currently, people around the world go there to visit it.
