Just south of the Barbados Wildlife Reserve, Farley Hill National
Park (daily 8am-6pm; free; car B$3.50) is a small, pleasant park
at the top of a 300-metre cliff, with commanding views over the
Scotland district.
It's a good place to retreat with a picnic once you've finished
looking around Grenade Hall.
The park is the site of what was once a spectacular Great House,
built for a sugar baron in 1857 but destroyed in a fire a century
later.
Today, the charred coral-block walls of the rather ghostly
mansion form the park's focus, surrounded by landscaped lawns and
masses of fruit trees.
