The site of a colonial fort on the south-west edge of Road Town, above Road Reef Marina; little of the original survives, but an original cannon remains at what is now the Fort Burt hotel and restaurant, with views over the harbour entrance.

Now a hotel and restaurant of the same name; walkable from Fort Burt Marina and the Road Reef area. A good sundowner viewpoint over Road Harbour and the Sir Francis Drake Channel.
