Codrington College the Perfect Picnic Location

I finally managed to pay Codrington College a visit during the course of last week and I must admit it was long overdue. For some inexplicable reason I have never visited the college, even though I have driven past it many times.

Each time I have past by Codrington College I have been impressed by the long drive, lined by those huge palm trees and the impressive historic looking building at the start of it. I wish I had a good reason for driving past it so many times without paying it a visit, for I get a real buzz out of visiting such places.

So on Thursday I finally drove down that incredible beautiful driveway of Codrington College and ventured forth and to the Theological College of the West Indies. For those interested in what the college is all about and finding out about its history visit the web site, Codrington College.

When I was there on Thursday afternoon the place was virtually deserted and their wasn’t one single tourist in sight. It is of course the holiday season at the moment so there wasn’t any students kicking around. It really amazes me, why so many tourists are scared to venture off the beaten track to go and see what Barbados has to offer apart from the popular Caribbean side beaches and the well known tourist attractions.

Codrington College is a truly beautiful place to visit, the college building itself is a grand impressive looking building and the grounds are a wonderful place to stroll around. There are plenty of benches to sit on and enjoy the views of the large fish pond, the various trees, and the amazing views.

It was good to be at such a beautiful place and not see one single piece of litter or rubbish spoiling things. Oh how I wish I could have said the same thing when I visited nearby Bath Beach!

Codrington College is a fantastic place to visit in Barbados and have a picnic with the family, I loved sitting at the back of the building sitting on a bench marvelling at the views of Barbados and the mighty Atlantic Ocean.

For those of you that don’t know how to take your rubbish with you and how to conduct yourself in a place of religious learning, it isn’t the place for you!
