We followed a path to Harry's Walls, another sixteenth century fort that was started but never finished but still has substantial remains. It's within 10 minutes of Hugh Town and a peaceful little walk although there isn't much to see from the military history perspective.

This is an interesting place to stop for a moment whilst out walking. It can be accessed via the coast path with a clear sign indicating direction up some steps, followed by a bit of a hill. There is a lovely view of the harbour from the wall.

Side by side we have a navigational aid from 2000AD, a monolith from 2500-750BC, and the remains of an artillery fort from 1500AD. This is a unique juxtaposition and what makes this place worth visiting.

Interesting to imaging the little planning that went into its location. After starting to build it they realised the cannon balls rolled out the guns as they had to point down to aim at the enemy. Bit of a steap clime to get to the site but worth it, good veiws over...
