What to see in Codrington

Codrington might seem like a simple respite for weary travellers, but this humble region possesses secrets that are as rich as the Bajan sun itself. A stone’s throw from the port, one can experience the history, nature and vibrant spirit of Barbados.

Set against a backdrop of tranquil lily ponds and a panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean, Codrington College beckons with its illustrious past and mesmerising architecture. Founded in the 18th century, it is the oldest theological college in the Western Hemisphere. Strolling the grounds, visitors are immersed in a palpable sense of history; the old trees whisper tales of past scholars and the rolling waves resonate with the echoes of timeless knowledge. Besides its historical significance, the college grounds are a paradise for nature lovers. Various species of birds have made the ponds their home, and it’s not uncommon to spot egrets gracefully wading or hear the distant song of the Barbados bullfinch.

Directly off the coast near Codrington’s port lies a tiny, rocky island, Culpepper Island. A jewel of the east coast, this uninhabited landmass is accessible only by boat, or for the more adventurous, by a short swim during low tide. Once on the island, the views are unparalleled. With Barbados in full sight, and the vast expanse of the Atlantic stretching infinitely, it’s a vantage point like no other. Culpepper Island is also steeped in lore. Local legends tell of pirates, buried treasures and secrets entwined with the island’s rocky outcrops.

No cruise to Codrington is complete without indulging in the local flavours. And the nearby fish market offers an authentic experience. As the heart of the community, this bustling hub is where the day’s freshest catch is brought ashore by local fisherpeople. From flying fish to mahi-mahi and the prized blue marlin, the array is a testament to the ocean’s bounty.

For the gastronomically adventurous, the market isn’t just a place to buy; it’s an immersive lesson in Bajan cuisine. Engage with the vendors, and they’ll eagerly share their favourite recipes, cooking tips and maybe even a secret or two about preparing traditional dishes. To fully savour the experience, grab a freshly prepared fish cutter (a Bajan sandwich) from a nearby stall, sprinkle it with the island’s famous pepper sauce and let your taste buds dance to the island’s culinary rhythm.
