Camden FortFortification · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Camden Fort is perched high above the harbour, guarding the entrance like a stern gatekeeper with a grudge. It was built in 1798 and has some interesting connections to James II’s battery from way back when. Take a picture for me if you can see the tunnel!
