Review:
Overlooking Great Courland Bay, Fort James was built by the British during the 18th century to defend the former capital of Plymouth, which is now one of the oldest towns on Tobago. The walls of the fort are made of hand-cut blocks of limestone laid together without the use of mortar, and many are still intact today. Another highlight includes the collection of four cannons pointed towards the ocean. Today, the fort sits inside a well-maintained park and is an excellent spot for relaxing or enjoying a picnic while admiring the excellent view of the coastline.
