[2] St. Philip has the largest land area of the 11 parishes of Barbados and has a relatively flat 'close to sea-level' terrain.

Six Cross Roads is the largest area by virtue of both commercial and residential population and is the central hub for the parish.

This tiny rock in the ocean is used as a feeding ground for sheep but cannot be reached unless by boat or by foot at low tide.

The parish of Saint Philip is the main on-shore area of Barbados involved in the local oil industry.

Well-known calypsonians and performers Red Plastic Bag, John King, Ronnie D. and Lil Rick all hail from this eastern parish.
