Spectacular views of Port of Spain, western peninsula and "Down d Islands", central plains of Trinidad, Gulf of Paria and much more! There's an old signal station with information on the history of the fort.

Up above St. James is Fort George. Drive up during the day to explore the small but interesting grounds. The little fort is complemented by an old jail cell carve into the hillside and some cannons overlooking the most spectacular views. This is a great place for a picnic, kids will love to explore and play and if the weather cooperates you could stick around to witness a spectacular sunset This Port of Spain and Fort George tour takes you to many of the places listed above for a decent price with a local guide. A great option if you don’t want to navigate the crazy streets of Port of Spain solo (a good way to avoid the sketchy areas too)! Also great for Picnics!

Fort George is located about a 40 minute drive from the accommodation. Formerly called La Vigie, Fort George is situated on the hills to the North of St. James overlooking the Gulf of Paria. The fort, which was part of a complex of fortifications, is the best destination for one of the most breathtaking views of Port of Spain and the sea.

Built in 1804, it commands a great view but never saw military action. We recommend visiting with a tour group - 35 minute (15.3 km) drive from Green Space.
