Visit Fort Barrington, Antigua
Fort Barrington is a National Park on the island of Antigua. It was named for the Admiral who replaced the earthworks on the site with a permanent stone structure in 1779. Previously called Goat Hill, the hilltop protected St. John’s Harbour from attack when the first earthworks went up probably in the 1650′s. Not only did the fort guard St. John’s Habour, but it also served as an important signal station to alert forces throughout the island of impending attacks. Fort Barrington is the only fort that saw military action in Antigua.
Fort Barrington can be accessed by a short hike. At the base of the trail up to the fort are many Manchaneel trees, so try not to touch them as you pass.
