St. Nicholas Abbey

Also boasting some arresting scenery and nature is the former sugarcane plantation of St. Nicholas Abbey in the north of the island. Now surrounded by some exquisite grounds and gardens, the grand Jacobean mansion has terrific tours to take around the estate that include some stiff rum punches.

One of only three such heritage sites in the Western Hemisphere, the plantation was established in what is now the parish of St. Peter in 1658. Wonderfully well-preserved, the magnificent mansion’s antique-filled rooms highlight how the planters used to live in the eighteenth century.

After wandering about the huge house and seeing all its period pieces, visitors can stroll around the orchards outside and stop by its rum distillery. There is also a romantic ride on a vintage steam train to take before heading to the commanding Cherry Tree Hill viewpoint nearby.

Andromeda Botanic Gardens

Full of colourful plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, the idyllic Andromeda Botanic Gardens lie just a stone’s throw from the beautiful Bathsheba Beach. As you amble along its winding paths, you’ll pass over 600 tropical species from around the world with little streams and ponds dotted here and there.

Created by the award-winning horticulturist Iris Bannochie in the 1950s, the gigantic gardens now have more than twenty sections for you to explore. While fragrant orchids line some parts, towering palms and ferns threaten to overwhelm others with butterflies, monkeys and hummingbirds all often spied amidst the undergrowth.

As the Royal Horticultural Society described it as ‘one of the most unique and outstanding gardens in the world’, it certainly isn’t to be skipped when traveling around Bim. After taking in its tranquil feel and resplendent nature, you can pick up some local artworks in its gift shop or go for a drink or snack in its cafe.

Animal Flower Cave

Right at the very northernmost tip of the island is the awe-inspiring Animal Flower Cave. Here you clamber about its rocky confines, bathe in its pools and enjoy divine views over the Atlantic from its large ocean-facing openings.

So named due to the tiny tube worms that can be found in its pools, the natural sea cave boasts lots of beautiful formations that make for some fantastic photos. While smooth millennia-old corals coat its floor, the shimmering waters of its pools create some magical light displays thanks to the glinting sun outside.

From the cliffs above, you can sometimes sight humpback whales migrating just offshore while the gigantic waves that pound the craggy coast are just as impressive to view. There is also an excellent restaurant with phenomenal panoramas if you want a tasty drink or meal before heading off.

George Washington House

Another interesting historic site to check out is the grand George Washington House in the Garrison Savannah area. It was here in 1751 that the future first president of the United States stayed on what turned out to be his only ever overseas trip.

At the age of just nineteen, he accompanied his older half-brother Lawrence to Barbados where they hoped the warm, sunny climate would cure his tuberculosis. For two months, they lived at the large and lavish plantation-style mansion which has been faithfully restored to what it would have looked like in the 1700s.

As well as wandering around its two floors full of period pieces, you can also watch a short film on his time in Barbados and see exhibits on the island’s storied past. In addition to all this, you can also explore a series of ruined barracks and secret tunnels that are located at the site.

Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill

One of the only surviving structures of its kind in all the Caribbean, the Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill is nestled in the north of the isle, in the parish of St. Andrew. Now preserved as a museum, its exhibits cover the history of sugar making in Barbados with its large sails even operating on select Sundays.

Built back in 1727, the massive wind-powered mill once crushed sugarcane to produce juice during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Only retired in 1947, its sturdy stone walls house the intact old machinery from years gone by and some displays documenting the once island-wide industry.

Asides from snapping some pictures of the mill and sipping some freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, you can also enjoy commanding views over the coast from its prominent hilltop setting.
