Great views of Tobago coast line! Is largest fortification in Tobago. Dated 1777, British, then captured by the French in 1781 and renamed Fort Castries. British reoccupied it again in 1793. Was damaged by the hurricane in 1847 (roof all buildings blown off). Among the ten (of the original 30) structures, can recognize the officer's mess (Georgian military arhitecture), the powder magazine (made with volcanic stone), the Bell shape water tank, commander's residence, military hospital, the prison and the cemetery. One mortar and cannons (eighteen, nine and six pounders) are on site between the inner and the outer Fort area. On the cannons can recognize the double-rose emblem if the Tudors and the GR mark. The Scarborough Museum collection is available to visitors and will give you a lot of details of Tobago History. Few modern structures have been built inside the fort complex: the more noticable is the lighthouse. FORT KING GEORGE IS PART OF EUROCHAMTT HISTORICAL ITINERARIES at LA TARTARUGA ITALIAN RESTAURANT, BUCCOO BAY.

Even though the winding tiny narrow road up and down the mountain is one of the most dangerous roads in Trinidad, once up there, it is totally worth it! It only took 10 minutes from the bottom to the top, and the grounds are well kept and preserved. The cannons are still there over looking the city. The house is beautiful, and the tiny prison that was only used to keep important documents and not prisoners was pretty cool!

The story behind this place is really interesting and I encourage you to read more about it. The place itself was very impressive as well and relatively easy to get to. There were a lot of people there the day we went because of a funeral, which was taking place in the adjacent parking lot. A large funeral pyre burned as music blasted from speakers - it was a bit disturbing to the senses but I guess this is how they carry out their funerals there. The temple grounds were peaceful and serene. Just a note that we went during low tide and the surrounding area was a bit of an eye sore, it was just muddy and dirty to be honest. I'd recommend finding out when high tide is. Other than that it was a very peaceful place and we're glad we went.

The drive through the central range to Tabaquite is relaxing and beautiful. It was my first visit to this historic site, the tunnel which was opened in 1898 is certainly part of Trinidad's history. My teenaged kids enjoyed the walk through he tunnel as well as the bat watching along the way.

Fort James origins date back from 1760s. British built a ‘guard house’ and barracks as early as 1764. Four years later permanent barracks were constructed and the fort was put in a better state of defense. Fort James site is well maintained by the Tourism bureau and it is possible to see the remains of the fortification made of low coral limestone and faced volcanic stone walls, with brick work at their corners. In the bastion shaped structure are present four cannons: two 18 pounder showing the Tudor double-rose; one 18 pounder and one 6 pounder marked GR (George Rex). Also present the Powder magazine and a brick furnace to heat the shot before firing from the muzzle-loading cannons, for the purpose of setting fire to enemy warship (French improved the old time-consuming method of heating round shot by covering in the coals of a large wood fire by using specially-constructed furnaces to heat shot in their artilleries). Fort James was captured by the French in 1781, retaken by the British in 1793, occupied by the French again in 1802 and captured by the British under Sir Samuel Hood in 1803. Fort James is part of Eurochamtt Historical Itineraries at La Tartaruga, Buccoo Bay.
