Some of the places on a love bus tour
Bathsheba and the Soup Bowl
Located on the rugged East Coast of Barbados Bathsheba and its world-famous Soup Bowl represent the wilder, more untamed side of the island. This area is defined by the powerful Atlantic rollers and dramatic rock formations.
The Soup Bowl is a world-renowned surfing break named for the foamy, churning appearance of the water as the waves crash into the bay.
Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison is a UNESCO World Heritage site that represents the focal point of British military and commercial power in the Atlantic for over three centuries. The area is a blend of 17th-century serpentine street layouts and a remarkably well-preserved military complex.
Once the parade grounds for the British Regiment, the Savannah is now the heart of Barbadian horse racing and a central hub for national events.
St. John’s Parish Church is one of the most iconic landmarks in Barbados. It offers a commanding view of the Atlantic coast and the rugged Scotland District, making it a staple for both historical research and tourism. The current structure, completed in 1836, is actually the fifth version of the church. The original 1645 building and several successors were destroyed by fires and hurricanes over the centuries. It is built in the Barbadian Gothic style and remains one of the island’s most photographed buildings.
Cherry Tree Hill offers what many consider the most spectacular view in Barbados. It is a quintessential stop for any island tour, providing a panoramic look over the rugged Scotland District and the Atlantic coastline.
The View: From the summit, you can see all the way down to Cattlewash and Bathsheba. The “Scotland District” gets its name because the hilly, green terrain reminded early settlers of the Scottish Highlands.
