Ninety seconds on Fort George
A working government radar station occupies the keep, so there is no museum and no way inside. You climb the hill for the small parapet right of the entrance, where the Cut, the airport and St. David's lighthouse fit into one view.
Walk up Fort George Hill from the town. Look first at the dry moat around the square keep, sheer on every side and too deep to climb into. One 25 ton muzzle-loader remains, pointing back towards the town, not out to sea.
Then go to the parapet. From it you see Town Cut and the ocean, the town and Ordnance Island, the airport, St. David's Island with its lighthouse, and Cooper's Island.
