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.
