Discover: Speightstown- A World of Wonder in Itself

10th November, 2011
Speightstown Barbados

The North-Western town of Speightstown is one of the four small towns located  in Barbados. It was settled in 1630 and named after William Speight who owned the land at this time. In the 17th century, the town was a major port with ships arriving regularly from England. As you walk through the streets of Speightstown, it is definitely a world in itself. There are remnants of colonial architecture existing with modern buildings which gives you an old world feeling with a dash of the present day intertwined. Splashes of colour  and cackles of laughter lighten up your day as you stroll through this iconic town.
