Welchman Hall Gully, Barbados

Question

Welchman Hall Gully is a lush, tropical forest gully located in the parish of St. Thomas on the island of Barbados. It formed when a large cave roof collapsed long ago, leaving a natural ravine filled with native and exotic flora, towering trees, and wild green monkeys.

It’s described as “a glittering jewel set in the heart of Barbados … home to wild monkeys, majestic rainforest trees and delicate native plants.”

It offers a very different environment compared to beach-side Barbados: you walk under a canopy, through shade, along a paved path in places, with a sense of rainforest and history.
