Fort James
Fort James is a 17th-century fort at the entrance to the harbour of St John's. Walk around the site and see the old cannons, and even stand on the gun-points to either enjoy the breathtaking views or just to picture what it was like for soldiers looking out for potential threats. Alternatively, you can get a guided tour and gain insight into the site's history.
