Little Fort National Park
Little Fort National Park (Virgin Gorda) – established in 1978, this park can be found just south of the Yacht Harbour. It was the site of a Spanish fortress and some masonry walls still exist on the hillside, including the ruins of a structure called the Powder House. The 36-acre area is also a wildlife sanctuary. For those curious about the fortress, there’s a small fortification and masonry ruins, including a munitions store on the hillside. Access is very difficult at this undeveloped site, as hikers must cross the rugged terrain and dense vegetation. The only area readily accessible for entrance into the park is located at the seashore — from there a difficult hiking trail leads to the munitions store.
