St. Nicholas Abbey Train
Heritage

Heritage Train Ride

Ride the heritage railway through Barbados’ green north, then explore the grounds of St. Nicholas Abbey — one of the island’s most celebrated historic estates. It is relaxed, scenic, and beautifully paced.

Local tip: Go earlier for softer light and cooler temperatures. Wear comfortable shoes because there is plenty to explore around the estate.
