Graeme Hall Swamp
Not far from Bridgetown, in the parish of Christ Church, is the
largest expanse of inland water on the island. This expansive
swamp, with red and white mangrove trees, is a natural habitat for
more than 40 species of birds. A boardwalk allows visitors to walk
dry-footed around the swamp and experience close up views of the
mangroves, marine and bird life. One can also spot green monkeys
and mongoose. Some uncommon plants, particularly varieties of
sedges, also grow in the swamp. Development is currently underway
and facilities will eventually include a souvenir shop, written
guides and an education room.
