Sunbury Plantation House
Built between 1660 and 1670, the handsome Sunbury Plantation House was painstakingly restored after a 1995 fire. The house has 2ft-thick (60cm) walls built of local coral blocks and ballast stones, the latter from the ships that set sail from England to pick up Barbadian sugar.
The interior retains its plantation-era ambience and is furnished in antiques, many made from Barbadian mahogany. In the area behind the house is a collection of horse-drawn carriages. Tours are given by guides well versed in local history. Have lunch or tea at the Courtyard restaurant, or a five-course dinner served on Sunbury's 200-year-old mahogany dining table.

Barbados Wildlife Reserve
Barbados Wildlife Reserve is a walk-through zoo opposite Farley Hill, with short paths that meander through a mahogany forest of scurrying green monkeys, sluggish red-footed turtles and a caiman pond. Other creatures that may be spotted include brocket deer, iguanas and agoutis. The monkeys are most lively during their afternoon feed.
There's also a small aviary with macaws and cockatoos, as well as some caged parrots, and uncaged peacocks and pelicans. To top it off, there's an orchid display and an iguana sanctuary.

Tyrol Cot Heritage Village
Tyrol Cot is a traditional Bajan village built on the former home of Sir Grantley Adams, first premier of Barbados. This National Trust-listed site includes examples of chattel houses, a unique Barbadian style of portable dwelling dating from the brutal slavery era. There are also local artists working and selling their crafts and a working blacksmith.
The stables have been converted into a restaurant, and sandwiches are available in a replica rum shop.

Welchman Hall Gully
Welchman Hall Gully is a thickly wooded ravine with a walking track and nearly 200 species of lush tropical plants. Gullies like this were virtually the only places planters were unable to cultivate, and thus represent an important remnant of the forest that covered Barbados before the arrival of English settlers.
