Barbadian History Mysteries — Hidden Railway Trail
Head out on the tracks? That’s right — hike an abandoned railway line that was once the only service route on Barbados.
Remember when the Barbados train traveled around the island? Of course you don't — it was nearly 100 years ago. With abandoned tracks frozen in time, embark on this unique opportunity to walk through the footsteps of history. On the eastern Atlantic side of the island, you'll take the path less traveled — seriously, few visitors know this exists — over rugged terrain, riverbeds, and inland bridges, take in the sites, plus breathtaking ocean views, seen from hidden haunts inside the island.
