Barbados Wildlife Reserve. Bathsheba: Bathsheba is located on the Eastern coastline of Barbados. It is said that this area was named after the wife of King David whose name was “Bathsheba”. Legend has it that she bathed in milk to keep her skin beautiful and soft, and the rolling surf waters of Bathsheba’s “Soup Bowl” resembled Bathsheba’s bath. The area is popular with surfers. It is a popular area for locals and visitors alike and is dotted with several seaside cottages. Garrison: The Main Guard is the central point of the Garrisons and looks out on what was once the Parade Ground and is now the race track. This structure was erected in 1804 and was used among other things as a court martial with the prisoners being housed in a guard house which is now the Barbados Museum The coat of arms is the George the III Coat of Arms. It is made of Coad Stone, which is not a stone but a ceramic made to resemble stone. The Formula was invented by Mrs. Elanor Coade in 1779 and its foremost property is its durability. The Coat of arms is dated 1803 and faces directly into the prevailing weather and has withstood 3 major hurricanes Carlisle Bay: Carlisle Bay is named after the Earl of Carlisle who stole Barbados away from Sir William Courteen in the Great Barbados Robbery.
