Nelson's Dockyard National Park
Mapped terrain, historical dockyards, and Antiguan coastal trails
Nelson's Dockyard National Park preserves a critical maritime hub in Antigua and Barbuda, defined by the interplay between a natural hurricane-shelter harbour and the rugged hills of the south coast. The protected site encompasses substantial stone naval architecture from the Georgian era alongside a network of trails that trace the dry forest ridges above English Harbour. This geography offers a distinct perspective on how human historical impact and natural tropical landscape preservation coexist in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles.
