Fort Burt
-
Now hidden behind a hotel façade, Fort Burt was built in the 17th century by the Dutch to protect Road Town. In 1776, the English rebuilt the fort and named it after William Burt, who then served as governor for the chain of Caribbean Islands known as the Leeward. In 1953, the fort was turned into a hotel. It’s worth wandering in to see the thick walls and ramparts, stopping for a drink at the hotel bar. Parking is difficult – it’s easiest to leave your car at the bottom of the hill and walk up.
