Trail description
This almost flat 8.2 km section follows the bed of the old Barbados Railway, which ran from 1881 to 1937, west from St Philip through cane fields and old plantations toward the Valley Trailhead in St George. The Future Centre Trust is turning the line into a shared path for walkers, runners and cyclists, with benches, shelters and newly planted fruit trees, and there is parking at the Valley Trailhead. Only a short stretch near Valley is paved so far, so expect long cleared or graded unpaved sections and ongoing works.
