Fort Rodd Hill

We had discovered this place earlier in the year, but it was at the end of another adventure, so we made a mental note to return and have a few hours there.

It is a coast artillery fort built in the late 1890s to defend Victoria and the Esquimalt Naval Base and as part of parks Canada, open to the public for quiet contemplation of another time. I was reminded at times about our visit to the Citadel in Halifax many years ago, and the curators of Fort Rodd Hill, or as Karen and myself called it, Fort Rod Hull, are doing an excellent job.
