Fort Shirley in Roseau

Nice relaxing atmosphere

Worth visiting, but only as part of a self drive to the north of the island with other stops enroute.

Great history very well kept grounds and very relaxing for the mind.Bring a good book and enjoy the océan view and breezeEnjoy!

This is a well kept historical site. There a lot of informational signs and artifacts to see. This is also a place that hosts weddings and events.

Great place to visit. Really well maintained. There is a bit of information on the building walls but would be great to have a little more about the history, still a great place to take kids.

My family and I participated in the JazzN Creole event this year and it as stunning.From the historical aspects to the breath-taking views, I would definitely be visiting in the future.

Good facilities and well maintained. But compared to most other things on island quiet lackluster. Hikes were mild and came to nice viewpoints, but nothing jaw dropping. The forest here was quite dry when we visited, so it gave a different perspective. If your visiting the "Nature Island" for the nature and jaw dropping views and are short on time you can skip.

Nice place to visit to understand a part of Dominican history. Need to pay a site pass if youre not a local but lovely views

A breathtaking view!

Short, mildly steep hike rewarded with spectacular views. Dont forget your site pass.

Peaceful quiet all nature tranquility

Lovely place to visit for a family picnic. Dont visit after hours the bathrooms are not accessible after then.

2001 - Interesting fort with a great view of the sea. A must!

Not much to see in the fort. There is a nice trail though.

Its my country

Point stratégique et, très belle vue sur la baie de Portsmouth. Montez tout en haut de Cabrits pour une vue sur Tanetane et Marie Galante.Dommage que la restauration de ce fort soit trop...moderne (pierres trop bien taillées, gouttières en PVC...)

Schön renoviertes Fort in gepflegter Anlage. Von der Geschützstellung hat man eine schöne Aussicht über die Bucht. Wenn dann noch 2 Segelschiffe einlaufen, kann man sich gut vorstellen, wie es hier vor 200 Jahren ausgesehen haben mag.Das Museum im Magazin könnte etwas Auffrischung gebrauchen, es dämmert wohl seit den 80er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts vor sich hin...

Beautiful fort shirley . Tourist attraction. Cabrits is the perfect place for snorkeling, diving and for yachting.

Very nice place for easy hike with interesting historical and biological facts. Some view points were covered by high trees, so there was no view at all, but thats the nature.

Great view over looking the town of Portsmouth and lush green mountains

Very pretty, hence the dinner was right at sunset and our unwanted guest of bats inside was ruining our evening. Cabrits park historian continued to speak like it was a normal experience. Not!

A Great historical site that dates back to the days of Christopher Columbus. Well taken care of and just a great place to visit. Cost per day entry is $5 U.S. per person or $12 for a weeks pass which gets you into all the other National Parks including the famous Trafalgar Falls.

Historical perspective intresting

Beautiful view

Great place, the view is really really nice. Trust me.Sleeping there is also great, the bathroom is neat and clean, and theres constant breeze. Hold bug spray though.

Amazing scenery

Beautiful place especially for an event called Jazz n Creole.

Great history.

great experience

Really well restored fortress, which was quite a positive surprise. Also very nice hikes in the national park around.

A good place to get off the boat and walk up a hill. The fort is impressive with lots of info boards about the history. We went on a Sunday so none of the buildings were open not sure if this is the case all of the time or just on Sundays.The little refreshments shack at the bottom is a good spot to cool off with a beer before walking back to town.

Well restored. Great hiking. Snack bar with pleasant staff.

Eintritt kosten 5$. Dafür kriegt man einen gut erhaltenen Fort mit vielen Wanderwegen.Die Fotomotive können sich sehen lassen

Well kept...

Absolutely beautiful, the history here is very interesting. The hiking trails to the east and west peak are a must.

Great views

A breath of fresh air

Das Fort wurde aufwendig restauriert. Wir waren 2014 vor Ort. Die Hurricanes haben inzwischen gewütet. Doch das Fort hält stand. Wer auf Dominica ist, sollte in Portsmouth unbedingt auf den Indian River und zum Fort. Eindrücklich wie sich die Kollonialmächte England und Frankreich hier mehrmals die Stirn boten.

Marvelous panoramic view of the Portsmouth bay below. Simply beautiful, great location for a picnic or photoshoot. Go with the entire family and spend a few hours. Explore the ruins of this war fort which have been professionally restored by our very own historian. Great location for wedding receptions. This has also always been the venue for the annual Jazz and Creole festival.

A great historical experience

Dominica

Fort Shirley liegt im Cabrits Nationalpark. Die Anlage ist gut erhalten, einige Gebäude wurden komplett renoviert. Von der südlichen Geschützstellung hat man eine tolle Aussicht über die Bucht. Wanderwege führen zu weiteren Geschützstellungen im Westen und im Norden der Halbinsel.

Lieu historique très agréable à visiter. En grande partie, très bien restauré. Possibilité de sy reposer sous un gigantesque manguier et admirer la baie ; )

Love the place, its filled with rich history, very peaceful, has a great views, great to explore

It is a wonderful place if your there for a wedding reception as I was. Wonderful to be with others so if you plan on going there dont go alone.

Hervorragend aufbereitete Anlage mit einer schönen Aussicht. Geschichtsträchtiger Ort.

An interesting piece of history on Dominica. Not the highlight of my trip but if you enjoy old buildings and cannons more than the beach and water then this would be a good stop. Otherwise, it would probably be OK to skip this attraction.

This is the birth place of descendants. It does help it is also a wonderful place to visit.

Best place

Lovely Dominica
