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

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