"Nature Lovers"

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.

Fascinatingly, the gully is also still geologically connected to Harrison's Cave. You can still see evidence of stalagmites and stalactites throughout your walk. There is 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 3/4 of a mile long.

Our next stop will be North Point, located at you guessed it the Northern tip of the island. The natural beauty of the waves crashing on limestone cliffs at North point is not the only special feature to be found here.

Discovered in 1780 by two British explorers, the Animal Flower Cave floor is estimated to be 4-500,000 years old. Formed at sea level, the cave's opening now sits six feet above the water line because the island of Barbados itself rises an inch every 100 years. There is a natural "swimming pool" inside, where visitors can take a dip on good days so bring your swimming suit. Upstairs, there's a restaurant and bar to grab a bite to eat after all of that exploring.

During the winter months (December to April), humpback whales head to the warm tropical waters of the Caribbean where they live off their layer of blubber until heading back up north. During this time Whales can be spotted off Barbados, especially on the northern and eastern coasts. One of the favourite spots are at the Animal Flower Cave.
