Welchman Hall Favorites

Favorite thing: We wanted to see Harrison's Cave because we heard that the tourists rode electric trains. That was true (I can't find the pictures I took though - I think I took slides).

Harrison's Cave and Welshman's Hall Gully are two aspects of the same thing. Welshman's Hall Gully is a cave that has collapsed at some time in the past.

It has stalactites, stalagmites, waterfalls, and pools. Harrison's Cave was first documented in 1796, but was re-discovered by Danish speleologist, Ole Sorenson, in 1970.

Tours are by electric tram and run every half hour. Admission is about BBD26 for adults, BBD12 for children.

Fondest memory: We took the tour at a time that it was raining - underground was a good place to be then.

I've put this under General Tips because I dont think it is a must-see. It isn't as extensive or as wonderful as many caves.

It isn't off the beaten track either - it is a very well known attraction. It is even listed as one of the 7 wonders of Barbados.

It was an interesting thing for us to see and a good place to go when it was raining.
