Fort Frederick, Eastern Cape reviews

A beautiful historic stone fort built in 1799. It located on a hill with a spectacular view of lower city in Port Elizabeth. It is located at the corner of Fort Street. Open Monday - and Friday 08:30am - 15:30pm. It is closed on Saturdays. It also features a small playground for children and scattered benches.

This little known fort was built in 1799. It is clean and well preserved. There is a view of the bay and the tennis court size flag at the Donkin reserve can be seen in the distance. .

A true relic of the past. It is well worth a look at, if you have the time. You can also get amazing views of the Port Elizabeth harbour. There is however no information centre at Fort Frederick, so getting a good background information before arriving will help.
