During the 17th and<br />
18th centuries, Barbados<br />
was one of the sugar<br />
capitals of the Caribbean,<br />
and there were more than<br />
700 sugar estates on the<br />
island. One of them, St<br />
Nicholas Abbey, has been<br />
fully restored and is open<br />
to the public today. Visitors<br />
can explore the Jacobean<br />
mansion, ride through the<br />
plantation grounds on a<br />
heritage railway, discover<br />
the on-site distillery and<br />
learn all about the abbey’s<br />
history, which was as bitter<br />
as it was sweet.<br />

Cricket is more than<br />
a sport in Barbados. It’s<br />
like a religion – and the<br />
prominent place to go for<br />
a pilgrimage is Kensington<br />
Oval, near Bridgetown.<br />
To get an insight into the<br />
history of the cricket ground<br />
– and to get a photo next<br />
to the pitch – you can take<br />
a guided tour on most<br />
weekdays. If you’re still<br />
hungry to learn more after<br />
the experience, head to<br />
the Legends of Barbados<br />
Cricket Museum across<br />
the road. It’s packed full of<br />
memorabilia.<br />
