Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park

Yet there was constant friction, and not until 1782 was St. Kitts definitely turned over to the British.

Except in the name of the capital, there are few, if any, traces of French occupancy, but at Brimstone Hill, close to Sandy Point, are the massive ruins of extensive fortifications built by the British.

Here, on an isolated, precipitous mass of rock, for all the world like a young mountain gone astray, is a solid mass of loopholed and battlemented masonry completely covering every available portion of the 800-foot hill.

It is an impressive and redoubtable fortification, well-nigh impregnable in the days of muzzle-loading cannon and black powder, and complete with sally ports, moats, and drawbridges.

So beautiful.

The next place we're going is called the Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park.

And here it is.

Gotta check out the history while you're here.

Looks like quite a hike.

There it is.

The Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park.

So you can see this is a closer view of this structure up on top of that hillside.
