Burnt Point Fort

One of the oldest forts on St. George’s Island (1688), Burt Point Fort defended the western approach to St. George’s Harbour from enemy ships and prevented illegal trading by Bermudian vessels. View map

Ferry Island Fort

During the American Revolutionary War, the island defence plan called for the population to retreat via ferry to St. George’s. As part of the plan, a battery was erected at the top of Ferry Island in the 1790s. The currently standing Ferry Island Fort replaced the battery in the 1870s. View map

Fort St. Catherine

Although a fortification has stood at St. Catherine’s Point for almost as long as there has been a Bermuda, the present fort dates from the 19th century. Inside and out, from the powder magazine to the gun platforms, the story of military history is well told here. View map

Gates Fort

Standing at the edge of Town Cut, the shipping passage to St. George’s Harbour, Davers Fort, as it was initially known, was first shown on a map published in 1626. Rebuilt in the 1790s, the Keep served as a barracks in the 1800s, and was home to a local family from 1870 until 1922, when the property was returned to the Bermuda Government. View map

Martello Tower

Our sole Martello tower was built during the 1820s of hard Bermuda stone. The only access is by drawbridge, which crosses the ditch to the barracks on the second level. To the north of the tower is a magazine; its walls are reinforced by flying buttresses and the roof is structurally weaker so that in the event of an explosion, the roof would be blown off while leaving the walls intact.

The Old Rectory

This charming old Bermuda cottage was built by Captain George Dew in about 1699 and later became the home of Parson Richardson, who nicknamed it “The Little Bishop.” Architecturally, the house shows many similarities to buildings of the same period in the US state of Virginia.
