Farley Hill National Park is home to Farley Hill house, a ruined Georgian mansion that sits within a mahogany forest on top ff a hill just off the East coast of Barbados. Farley Hill provides a wonderful Barbados Beauty spot to picnic in as there are plenty of excellent places to sit either under the shady trees or sat on the hill overlooking fabulous views of the Atlantic Ocean.
As far back as 1818 Farley Hill house began it’s construction and grew in size as extra rooms were needed making it the most regal mansion in Barbados. At one point the house was home to Sir Graham Briggs who imported many new trees and plants to grow in the gardens as he was a rich British legislator and planter.
