Barbados | Destination overview
In its British Empire days, Barbados was known as Little England. It was the first colony to declare war in 1939 and cheered Britons with a cable that read: "Don't worry. Little England is with you."

After 350 years of colonization, Britain has left its mark and added much to the beguiling charm of "Little England in the Tropics."
