Lonely Planet review for Fort Charlotte

Fort Charlotte, built in 1781 during a time of war with France and Spain, occupies the site of an earlier fortification built in 1665 to protect the harbour from the Dutch navy. The five-sided fortress never saw action, but today houses the local Territorial Army (volunteer units) and provides excellent views over the harbour.
