 The Animal Flower Cave is located at the most northerly point of Barbados in the parish of St.Lucy.


The name "Animal Flower Cave" comes from the sea anemones found in the pools of the cave. Some of these pools are deep enough for you to swim in.


There are also several openings looking out to sea, offering spectacular views!

The walls of the Cave are full of interesting formations which have been coloured green and brown by oxidation of copper and iron.

Be sure to also stop in at the Pirates Tavern bar and restaurant... reportedly serving the best lemonade in Barbados!

The cliffs surrounding the Cave offer spectaular views of the northern coast of Barbados where huge Atlantic waves crash against the cliffs.

There are a number of craft stalls where you can view and purchase the works (including jewellery and clothes) of talented Barbados crafts people.

The now famous cave has been featured in singer Billy Ocean's music videos and in the soap opera "Bold and Beautiful".

To discover this beautiful location and others you can take an island tour and if you enjoy a trip to the Animal Flower Cave, be sure to also stop by The Flower Forest.


WELCHMAN HALL GULLY
  The Development of the Gully

Picture
The Gully was once part of a plantation owned by a Welshman called General William Asygell Williams over 200 years ago. Hence the name “Welchman Hall’ gully. It was this man who first developed the gully with exotic trees and an orchard. Interestingly, the grapefruit is originally from Barbados and is rumoured to have started in Welchman Hall Gully.There is also a large nutmeg walk; exotic and native palms section and an ornamental section to the gully. You can also walk through the native section of the gully. The gully is ¾ of a mile long.

The Gully was bought by the Barbados National Trust in 1962, and was their first property. They continued to develop the gully by adding more exotics trees and ornaments, and by putting in a path through the middle of the gully, making it easier to access by more people.

If you like nature, hiking (at any level), plants, culture and natural history, then Welchman Hall gully must not be missed. 

The tranquil feel of the gully will instantly strike you. It is a place where you can experience a piece of nature and imagine what the island was like 300 years ago. It is a touch of tropical forest, mixed with Barbadian and other exotic tropical plants. 

Since Barbados does not have many remaining tropical landscapes that are easily accessible, visiting Welchman Hall Gully will be an unexpected surprise and treat.
