Cabrits National Park Cabrits National Park is at the north end of the island of Dominica, north of Portsmouth on a peninsula. The park protects tropical forest, coral reefs and wetlands. There are hiking trails and an English garrison called Fort Shirley. It occupies 1,313 acres (531 ha) and was established in 1986. Here are low-rising hills, tropical forests, swampland, volcanic-sand beaches, coral reefs, and the sprawling ruins of a fortified, 18th-century garrison of British, then French, construction. The park's land extends over a panoramic promontory formed by the low-rising twin peaks of extinct volcanoes overlooking beaches, with Douglas Bay on one side and Prince Rupert Bay across the headland. |
