This 38 acre fortress, dubbed "the Gibraltar of the east" is situated on the upper slopes of an 800 foot high mountain with superb views all around. Six other islands can be seen on a clear day and the scenery ranges from rainforests, which cap the mountains, through the gently sloping lands going down to the sea covered with the traditional patterns of greens and browns. Picturesque towns and villages are included in the scenery and these landscapes are all framed by the blue Caribbean Sea. Brimstone Hill's scenery is a photographer's paradise. The fortress has been named as a World Heritage Site due to its importance in history.
