Above are some photos taken during my son's school visit to the Brimstone Hill Fortress, located in Sandy Point, St. Kitts. It is one of the most beautiful and awe inspiring locations on the island and is one of the major tourist attractions. My son and his friends had a good time exploring it's length and breath.

Heading back down to the base

According to the website,

"The Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of historical, cultural and architectural significance: a monument to the ingenuity of the British military engineers who designed it and to the skill, strength and endurance of the African slaves who built and maintained it. One of the best preserved historical fortifications in the Americas, it is located on the island of St. Kitts in the Federation of St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis in the Eastern Caribbean."
