Welchman Hall Gully
St. Thomas | $ | Website
Located in the heart of the island in the parish of St Thomas, the Welchman Hall Gully provides an insight into what Barbados would have looked like 300 years ago. The gully is a collapsed cave which has a mature tropical forest growing within it. There are a large variety of plant species comprised of a mixture of Barbadian and other exotic tropical plants. The gully is also home to numerous animals including Barbados green monkeys which abound. Visitors can walk through the gully and enjoy the flora and fauna and see evidence of the various rock formations which at one time would have been stalactites and stalagmites. In addition, there are daily feedings of the monkeys around 10.00 am and 1.30 pm which afford you a better opportunity to see them.

..filled with beautiful tropical plants and trees.
If, like me, you’re a nature enthusiast then be sure to visit the Welchman Hall Gully. It doesn’t take very long to cross Welchman Hall Gully but it’s a lovely walk and gives you a taste of what a Barbadian forest is like. Make sure that you hike up the steps near the entrance so that you can enjoy the unimpeded view of the east coast.
The gully is totally unique and is filled with beautiful tropical plants and trees. Towards the end of the walk it’s difficult to miss what would once have been stalactites and stalagmites before the roof of the cave collapsed to form what is now the gully. I missed the monkey feedings but nevertheless, I managed to get a good view of what could only be described as a very cheeky monkey who stared at me for ages as if to remind me that I was invading his privacy! If you drive to the gully in a moke, beware of the chickens that live near the entrance. When I got back to the car, not only was there a hen in the footwell on the driver’s side, there was also a freshly laid egg – apparently it’s a regular occurrence and is their way of saying ‘thanks for coming’!
