Helpfulness
Welchman Hall gully is a great place if you like hiking, plants and natural history. The gully has a tranquil feel and reminds you of how the island must have been 300 years ago. The gully has a tropical forest, in which you will find Barbadian and other exotic tropical plants. The gully is one of the last remaining tropical landscapes that is accessible.
Once part of a plantation owned by General William Asygell Williams over 200 years ago, it was this man that first developed it with exotic trees. The gully is three-quarters of a mile long and offers a wonderful, shady walk on warm days.

Welchman Hall Gully, located in the parish of St.Thomas, is a three-quarter mile (1.2km) long "gully" (really a garden) and home to a number of tropical plants trees, including nutmeg, bamboo, clove and palms. There was a self guiding tour which identified various interesting plants such as the toothpick tree.
Prof P.W. RICHARDS (Cambridge) speaking to a meeting of the British Bryological Society in 1990 on "My first steps in tropical bryology." said: "My first step in tropical bryology was when I set foot on Barbados, August, 1929,.. as a member of the Oxford Exploration Club's expedition. In Welshman's Hall Gully I saw some epiphyllous liverworts..."
The green monkeys are supposed to inhabit this area, but we didn't see any - they are more likely to be around in the very early morning or in the evening.
We were there during Bajan independence day, when Bajans got in free. We went in on the Heritage Passport. Otherwise admission is about $11.50BD
