By kkeps

(2026-08-26)

The Martello Tower, AKA River Fort, is a former defensive fort on a beach about 3 miles S of Codrington, Barbuda on River Rd. The tower is said to be the oldest martello tower in the Caribbean and served as a prototype for future martello towers. At 56 ft (17 m) tall, this is the tallest building in Barbuda.

The tower was built during the Napoleonic Wars to protect Barbuda's southern coast and anchorage. Some documents say the fort was built on the site of a former Spanish fort built in 1745. Its design resembles Spanish towers of the same time period. However, archeological analysis of the structure's timber suggests that the fort may have originally been built by British admiral Charles Knowles in the 1740s.

Today, it serves as a remote waypoint for 4x4 trips along the coast. It’s far from any settlements, and getting there requires careful driving. There’s no water available, and the area is outside mobile phone coverage. Beautiful place to camp. However bring garbage with you!

Cramond Island is one of several islands in the Firth of Forth in eastern Scotland, near Edinburgh. It lies off the foreshore at Cramond. It is 1⁄3 mile (0.54 km) long and covers 7.70 ha. The island is part of the Dalmeny Estate, owned by the Rosebery Estates Partnership. Cramond Island is a tidal island about 1.6 km out to sea, which is connected to the mainland at low tide across the Drum Sands. A paved path, exposed at low water, allows easy access. This causeway runs at the foot of a row of concrete pylons on one side of the causeway, which were constructed as an anti-boat boom during the Second World War and are one of the most striking sights in the area. There is evidence to suggest that the island may have had special significance to the prehistoric peoples who lived along the coast of the Firth of Forth, as at least one stone burial cist was found.

Castillo San Felipe

By Ariberna

(2025-12-07)

This is the most important military construction in Ferrol. Located opposite the Castillo de la Palma (in Mugardos) and the now-vanished Castillo de San Martiño, the three fortifications made the Ferrol Estuary impregnable, a "triangle of fire" that no enemy power of Spain dared to attack. At night, the castles of San Felipe and La Palma were linked by a chain, thus preventing the passage of enemy ships. Admiral Pitt is credited with saying that if Great Britain had an estuary like this, with its castles, they would protect it with a wall of silver.

Construction of the castle began in 1557, commissioned by Philip II, from whom it takes its name. However, the building we see today dates from the 18th century, when it was remodeled. The major works on the castle were finally completed in 1775. In the 18th century, San Felipe was considered an example of a bastioned battery.

This design featured, on one hand, an area of ​​cannon batteries facing the sea, and on the other hand, a system of bastions—or projecting walls—covering the flanks of the curtain walls (the front walls). These bastions also served to repel attacks from land.

It is not entirely clear who exactly built the massively fortified site at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level. Allegedly, these are the remains of a Celtic cult site, which is shrouded in a number of mysteries and secrets. The wall was 3-4 m wide and 3-5 m high. Why did someone put in so much effort to fortify a place in the middle of wild mountains where there is nothing far and wide? Why are fortifications in places that are of no strategic importance at all? And from the third question it freezes. In many places, there are signs of a catastrophe that no human hand could have caused. Who caused these scenes? It is thought that either it was a cult place or a fortress to protect the mined gold. It was not a residential fort, because there were no signs that people lived here permanently.
