Fort Charolette, St Vincent & The Grenadines

Fort Charlotte is on Berkshire Hill, just west of Kingstown in its heyday, it supported 600 troops and 34 guns.  The cannons were mostly pointed inland, to defend against Caribs.  The Caribs were the enslaved native people and other slaves.   With wonderful panoramic views of Kingstown and the Atlantic Ocean coastline it was certainly worth the visit.  Trekker Hound enjoyed the adventure, but was nervous when he saw the narrow steep road to come down, as he looked out the window.
