Farley Hill National Park, Barbados

Although one cannot walk through the ruins because they are no longer open for exploration for safety reasons, one can take photos and imagine the once opulent mansion that graced this tranquil park.

Admittance to the park is free, but there is a small charge for parking your car. Our children enjoyed running through the grassy landscape, while we roamed about taking pictures of the ruins.
