Itineraries

A scenic and picturesque drive takes you along the West Coast past some of Barbados' fine restaurants and hotels. Arrive at St. Nicholas Abbey located in the parish of St. Peter. Built in 1660, the abbey is one of only three authentic Jacobean mansions in the Western Hemisphere, and Barbados is home to two of them. Extensively refurbished, the distinguishing features of this magnificent, well-preserved mansion are curved Dutch gables, chimney stacks and coral stone finials, a Chinese Chippendale staircase, and fine antiques and china. A rare 1930s film on sugar plantation life can also be viewed. St. Nicholas Abbey is not without its tale of tragedy. The house appears to have been built by Colonel Benjamin Berringer. When his neighbor, friend and business partner John (later Sir John) Yeamans began to pay attention to Mrs. Berringer, a feud erupted between Yeamans and Colonel Berringer, culminating in a duel in which Berringer was killed. Soon afterwards, Sir John married Mrs. Berringer and claimed the abbey for his own. A court ruling later returned the property to Berringer's children and it was named after Berringer's grand-daughter, Mrs. George Nicholas. Enjoy a tour of this lovely historical residence and grounds, culminating in a sumptuous English tea with a Barbadian flare! Your return drive takes you through sleepy villages and along the East Coast of Barbados on the way back to the pier.

The present building was constructed in 1836, after the hurricane of 1831 destroyed the original built in 1660. The pulpit is constructed from six different kinds of wood - Ebony, Locust, Barbados Mahogany, Manchineel, Oak and Pine. The church also contains an interesting sculpture depicting the Madonna and Child with the infant St. John.
