St Georges tourist information
Forget the time machine. Just stroll the quaint streets of St. George’s, and you’ll be swept back through 400 dramatic years of history. Unlike the New World settlements of colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown, St. George’s has not been rebuilt. Come and listen to the original masonry buildings and narrow streets tell their stories of English expansion in the 17th and 18th centuries, and be prepared to be spellbound.
St. George’s is surrounded by fortresses that represent a vast range of British coastal fortifications dating from the early 1600s to 1956. Among them are the oldest standing forts in the New World. History buffs are not the only ones who will be awed by the strategic, coastal defences that once protected the British Empire at its zenith of power.
Even though the architecture of St. George’s may look like it was inspired by Mother Goose, it was really Mother Nature who dictated the almost whimsical charm of the stone and masonry buildings. So load up with plenty of film for your leisurely walk through the first English urban centre in the New World.
Rest assured that the Town of St. George is more than masonry. When you’re ready for a respite from the redoubts, you’ll find a variety of restaurants and pubs that serve excellent cuisine and refreshing beverages. And if you’re inspired to do some shopping, you’ll also find an eclectic range of shops as well.
So come to St. George’s for a clear view of 400 hundred years of history, and a few delightful modern amenities. Click on your special interests below for more details about visiting St. George’s.
