Dows Hill Interpretation Centre
Dow's Hill Interpretation Centre
A hilltop interpretation centre in the national park, where a multimedia film tells Antigua's history and an outdoor terrace overlooks the harbour.
Dow's Hill Interpretation Centre sits on a hill between Nelson's Dockyard and Shirley Heights. A roughly 15-minute multimedia presentation traces the island's history from its Indigenous peoples through colonization and slavery to independence, making it a useful introduction before visiting the dockyard. The outdoor viewing terrace overlooks English Harbour and Nelson's Dockyard, and the ruins of an old fort are nearby. Entry is covered by the national park pass.
