St. Kitts - Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park HD (2013)
Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the island of St. Kitts in the Federation of St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis in the Eastern Caribbean. It was designed by British military engineers and built and maintained by African slaves. It is one of the best preserved historical fortifications in the Americas.
Battle of Saint Kitts, 1782, as described by an observer in a French engraving titled Attaque de Brimstomhill
Cannon were first mounted on Brimstone Hill in 1690, when the British used them to recapture Fort Charles from the French. The French had not considered it possible to transport cannon up the steep and thickly wooded sides of Brimstone Hill. The construction of the fort then carried on intermittently for just over 100 years. In its heyday, the fort was known as 'The Gibraltar of the West Indies', in reference to its imposing height and seeming invulnerability. In 1782, the French, under Admiral Comte François Joseph Paul de Grasse laid siege to the fort. During the siege, the adjacent island of Nevis surrendered, and guns from Fort Charles and other small forts there were brought to St. Kitts for use against Brimstone Hill. British Admiral Hood could not dislodge de Grasse, and after a month of siege, the heavily outnumbered and cut-off British garrison surrendered. However, a year later, the Treaty of Paris (1783) restored St. Kitts and Brimstone Hill to British rule, along with the adjacent island of Nevis. Following these events, the British carried out a program to augment and strengthen the fortifications, and Brimstone Hill never again fell to an enemy force. The French navy tried to recapture the fort in 1806 but failed.
The fort was abandoned by the British in 1853, and the structures gradually decayed through vandalism and natural processes. Stabilization and restoration of the remaining structures started in the early 1900s. In 1973 HRH Prince Charles reopened the first area to be completely restored, the Prince of Wales Bastion. In 1985 Britain's Queen Elizabeth II unveiled a plaque naming Brimstone Hill as a National Park. Legislation in 1987 officially declared Brimstone Hill to be a National Park. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999.
Areas that can be toured include the imposing Citadel, Western Place of Arms, Eastern Place of Arms, and Fort George Museum, all a steep walk up from the main parking area via a set of ramps and steps. Other areas include the Magazine Bastion, whose walls were breached by the French in 1782, ruins of the Royal Engineers' Quarters, ruins of the Artillery Officers' Quarters, Infantry Officers' Quarters, and the Orillon Bastion. The ruins of the barracks are a short walk from the car parking area.

Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park in St. Kitts, Saint Kitts and Nevis
Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a well-preserved fortress on a hill on the island of St. Kitts in the Federation of St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis in the Eastern Caribbean. It was designed by British military engineers, and was built and maintained by African slaves. It is one of the best preserved historical fortifications in the Americas.
The complex of fortifications were constructed on Brimstone Hill, a very steeply sloping hill situated close to the sea on the Western, Caribbean coast of St. Kitts.
High on a hill in St Kitts near Sandy Point is a historic time capsule. Stone walls of volcanic rock were fashioned and laid by African slaves using limestone from the slopes as a mortar. This was for the Brimstone Hill Fortress designed by British engineers to protect their interest against the French who despite having signed a Treaty of Partition in 1627 dividing St Kitts, mounted guns against the British in July 1689 capturing not just Fort Charles which had been designated neutral territory but the entire island. Then after reinforcement troops arrived from Britain and St Kitts was once again regained from the French, construction of the fortress with 800ft walls started in 1690 and took over 100 years to complete. Brimstone Hill Fortress is now a national park, and one of the top tourist attraction on St Kitts.
Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is one of the current 19 Caribbean UNESCO World Heritage sites due to the historical, architectural and cultural significance of the fortress. It is also one of the most extensive and well-preserved British polygonal style fortification in the Western Hemisphere. Plus from its lofty perch, you can see spectacular vistas of the Caribbean Sea, five neighboring Caribbean islands and the lush rainforest of St Kitts.
Sadly on my visit, there were no sightings of monkeys at the top of the hill — only at the bottom of Island Main Road as they dashed in the bushes. Some say these wild monkeys which are now all over St Kitts were brought from Africa by the French as pets. Others say the French brought the monkeys to frustrate the British. Whatever the case, they are very good at camouflage in the lush landscape, so a fun game as you drive around St Kitts is to “spot the monkey.” You never know where they’ll next turn up!
The crowning glory of Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is the Citadel which now houses the Fort George Museum. The Citadel is reached after climbing a ramp of steps from the Visitors Center. There you will also find the Western Place of Arms which has three sentinel 24-pounder cannons overlooking the Caribbean Sea. There are also more cannons around the fortress including at the Eastern Place of Arms where cannons point to the mountains.
A fun thing to do when you get to the top of Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is to ring the Tower Bell. This is off to the left of the pole proudly flying the St Kitts & Nevis flag. Interestingly, upon inquiry to the Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park Society, they indicate that there is no definitive historical record for the use of the Tower Bell and efforts are being made to confirm its original usage. However, current speculation is that the Tower Bell was used to announce the daily routines of the garrison, such as changing of guard duty, meal time, etc.
It should be noted that the terrain at Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is not difficult but would recommend wearing comfortable shoes. As since the fort was built on a series of levels, steps are everywhere. Though they are wide and not very steep or too rugged, there are a lot of them. Plus if you want to explore the grassy areas including the cemetery and hospital ruins, it’s best to wear sensible shoes.
Finally, the road up to Brimstone Hill Fortress is winding, steep in parts and really no more than a single-lane road. Plus there are two archways that are extremely narrow and challenging for cars and vans to navigate. Thus, if you are not comfortable driving on narrow roads, would recommend hiring a taxi instead of trying to make the drive yourself. This also frees up your hands to take photos or video of the picturesque scenery as you drive up and down from Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park.

St. Kitts (font princess.com)
Jagged volcanoes soaring above azure and turquoise seas, dense rainforests in myriad shades of green, rolling fields of sugarcane--welcome to St. Kitts. Along with its neighbor, Nevis, St. Kitts presents an exotic landscape more common to Polynesia than the Caribbean. The islands' terrain, rich soil, and climate made them ideal locations for raising sugarcane. In fact, St. Kitts and Nevis were once the crown jewels of the Caribbean. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Spain, France and England vied for control of the islands, with the English finally winning out in 1787. Today, British and French heritage is evident on both islands. Basseterre, the capital of St. Kitts, boasts fine, restored colonial buildings. Impressive Brimstone Hill Fortress, called the Gibraltar of the West Indies, is one of the most impressive fortresses in the Caribbean.
Nevis Island Tour, Beach & Lunch
Begin your island adventure with a scenic, 45-minute boat ride along the coast of St. Kitts' southeastern peninsula to the beautiful sister island of Nevis. Upon arrival in Charlestown, the capital, embark on a drive through the tranquil town for a glimpse of the true Caribbean lifestyle. As you drive through the island, your native guide will provide the history of life in Nevis. Wind your way through sleepy villages. Then, arrive at Pinney Beach for lunch at LIME Beach Bar. After your meal, relax on a lounge chair or take a dip. Board your boat right off the beach and ride back to port.

Historic Charles Fort 1666 on the island of St. Kitts
Charles Fort on the island of St. Kitts was building in 1666. It stopped being a fort in 1860. Later it was designated to be a Hanson House or leper colony. The last leper died in 1996. That was just 22 years ago. There has been zero restoration to this fort, apart from some brush removal from the center. A single old cannon remains atop one of the walls. The Sally Port on the far wall provides an escape route to the Caribbean shoreline. Homes have been built right up next to the massive walls of the fort. This is truly a hidden treasure on St. Kitts and worth asking your taxi driver to stop by.

The NHC began monitoring a tropical wave over western Africa on August 26.[109] The disturbance entered the Atlantic late the next day,[110] gradually organizing into Tropical Storm Irma west of Cabo Verde around 15:00 UTC on August 30.[111] Early on August 31, Irma underwent a remarkable period of rapid intensification, with winds increasing from 70 mph (110 km/h) – a high-end tropical storm – to 115 mph (185 km/h), a major hurricane, in a mere 12 hours.[112] An eyewall replacement cycle then took place shortly thereafter, which caused the storm to briefly be downgraded to a Category 2.[113]
Current storm information
As of 8:00 a.m. AST (12:00 UTC) September 4, Hurricane Irma is located within 15 nautical miles of 16.8°N 52.6°W, about 610 miles (980 km) east of the Leeward Islands. Maximum sustained winds are 105 knots (120 mph; 195 km/h), a Category 3 on the Saffir–Simpson scale, with gusts to 125 knots (145 mph; 230 km/h). The minimum barometric pressure is 947 millibars (hPa; 27.96 inHg). The system is moving west-southwest at 12 knots (14 mph; 22 km/h). Hurricane-force winds extend up to 25 nautical miles (30 mi; 45 km) from the center of Irma, and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 120 nautical miles (140 mi; 220 km). Interests in the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and the Dominican Republic should monitor the progress of Hurricane Irma.
