The area is known for its well-preserved colonial sugar plantation culture and is an important window into the traditional rural Barbados experience.
Sunbury's most famous landmark is the 18th-century Sunbury Plantation House, a fully restored colonial building now open as a museum with displays of Victorian furniture, old horse-drawn carriages and sugar cane planting implements. The surrounding area still contains the ruins of the original stone sugar mill, a testament to Barbados' illustrious history as a "sugar cane island".
Sunbury is easily accessible via the island's main highway and is surrounded by a number of specialty rum estates and craft markets. The annual Sugar Cane Festival attracts a large number of visitors, while the neighboring Turner Hall Forest Trail offers eco-tourism opportunities for tropical bird watching.
