Overview

Did you know that Fort Charlotte was built in the 1650's during the First Anglo-Dutch War? It was unfortunate that when I visited, part of Fort Charlotte was closed for reconstruction.

Transport & Parking

We walked from the museum to Fort Charlotte so I can't comment on the parking.

Access

2.5

We asked the staff at the museum who kindly told us the most accessible way to get to Fort Charlotte which was up 2 steep slopes and then across a road into the Fort.

Toilets

There was no toilets so I can't comment.

Staff

There was no staff so I can't comment.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

Once you leave Fort Charlotte the slope down hill to the ferry terminal is STEEP but lucky for me, Gary held on to the back of my wheelchair to save me from rolling into the traffic but his Mam was worried, but Gary was as cool as a cucumber. Gary is a G. Be like Gary.
