Fantastic Picturesque Setting

Farley Hill was once the site of a beautiful mansion built by Sir Graham Briggs for the entertainment of his guest Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, when the latter visited Barbados in 1861. Other Royal visitors including Princes Albert, Victor and George, later King George V of England, were entertained there when they visited the island in 1879.

Because of its picturesque setting, Farley Hill Mansion was used in the filming of the motion picture "Island in the Sun". After its destruction by fire in 1965 the site was converted into a national park.

The gutted remains of the mansion still stand.

The property is a wonderful place for a lunch and fun in the park, the view to the southern point of the island is fantastic and the Wildlife Reserve is right across the road.
