f 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. It is also a great place for children to explore their natural environment.
Since Barbados does not have many remaining tropical landscapes that are easily accessible,
visiting Welchman Hall Gully will be an unexpected surprise and treat. In fact, Welchman Hall Gully was formed by the collapsed roofs of caves and is still evident. Fascinatingly, the gully is also geologically connected to Harrison’s Cave. Before Harrison’s Cave was developed, locals would enter via an entrance located in the gully.
If you come early, you might even get a glimpse of the Barbados Green Monkeys. Gullies are the homes of these monkeys.
