Shirley Heights and Dow Hill

Shirley Heights is the old ruins of the fort that was once located on the south/southeast side of Antigua. It is all ruins now, and no battles were ever fought here between the French and English. The views of the Atlantic are phenomenal though! Down the mountain a little way is Dow Hill (picture below), which is the "entrance" to Shirley Heights. From there one can see into English Harbor, which is where Lord Horatio Nelson's navy docked their ships. Today it is home to Antigua Sailing days and whomever is fortunate enough to be able to sail around the Caribbean.
