Welchman Hall Gully
A deep rainforest gully formed by the collapse of a limestone cave, with breadfruit trees, bamboo and stalactite columns along the paths. Green monkeys often appear.
Welchman Hall Gully is a ravine about 1 km long, formed when the roof of a limestone cave collapsed. In the 19th century plantation owners planted many tropical species here, and it has since grown into dense rainforest. Along the flat trail you can see breadfruit trees, nutmeg, bamboo groves and stalactite columns left from the cave roof. Green monkeys often forage here in the early morning. The gully is managed by the Barbados National Trust, only a few minutes' drive from Harrison's Cave, so the two can be visited on the same day. There is an admission fee.
