Ce fort a été érigé dans les années 1870 pour protéger le port d'Hamilton. Comme il est situé sur le haut d'une colline, il permet entre autres d'avoir une vue panoramique sur la ville et le port d'Hamilton.
On y accède par un pont en bois qui surplombe un fossé qui d'ailleurs a été converti en un jardin tropical contenant plusieurs variétés de bambous géants et de fougères.
Il est maintenant possible de faire une randonnée dans le sentier érigé au fond ce de fossé. On y a accès par un des tunnels présents sur le site.
Le fort est protégé par des remparts ainsi que plusieurs canons qui sont d'ailleurs encore en très bon état.
Le site est très bien aménagé et on y retrouve également de beaux jardins.
L'accès au site est gratuit et le fort peut être visité toujours les jours de 09h30 à 17h00.

Fort Hamilton Bermuda, Former British Army Base
Fort Hamilton is a former British army base, built in the 1870s to defend the Royal Naval Dockyard from possible attack by American forces.
The ramparts of this pentagonal fort offer panoramic views of the City of Hamilton and Hamilton Harbour. The moat is now one of Bermudas more unusual gardens.
Every Monday at noon, between November and March, the Bermuda Islands Pipe Band performs the Skirling Ceremony, traditional Scottish and Irish music accompanied by Highland dancers.

BERMUDA: Hamilton Fort - Let's Play a Game
Hamilton fort in Bermuda.
So empty that it seemed like a long abandoned war zone that I've just discovered. Couldn't stop thinking that I'm playing some sort of computer game full of horror and ghosts. I have to find the ghosts before the sunset to make them disappear, otherwise, they come back to life and I'll end up in a war...
