Barbados has some breathtaking views and wandering scenery best seen by wondering through the islands lanes and roads. In the northeast, the Scotland district has marvelous vistas of hills and tropical scenery often set against a distant vista of the Atlantic surf breaking on the shore. The seascapes of the east coast are wonderful with the massive rollers putting up a fine salt spray mist which give a sepia effect to the shoreline, cliffs and surrounding hills. There are marvelous views over the island from many vantage points. Cherry Tree Hill near Nicholas Abbey looks right down the East Coast. Hackleton Cliff high above Bathsheba lets you see from the north to the south of the island. Gun Hill, a former British Army Signal Station now operated by the Barbados National Trust gives you a view over the South including Bridgetown and there are many more... Where man has had a hand, visit the Flower Forest and Andromeda Gardens with their wonderful displays of tropical flowers and shrubs. Walk through Welchman Hall Gully looking out for the local green monkey or visit Harrison's Caves for an almost unique place anywhere in the world. So you can see there's lots to do and see to make your holiday memorable so that you will return, perhaps see more.
