nelson's dockyard印象
-
Charismatic historical location, nicely kept, with a wonderful mix of historical buildings and yachts to look at in a beautiful location. The best of Antigua
-
Lovely old restored buildings. Couple of gift shops, one sweet boutique. A bar overlooking the bay of pretty luxury boats.

Worth it in spades. Get the local bus from St Johns, currently the no 17, takes about 45 mins and is in itself a really interesting trip. The dockyard itself is fascinating - the only Georgian dockyard in the world and the Nelsonian associations are, of course, a real draw. The buildings are in use so it is not fossilized, the museum excellent too. Lots to see - and some great shops and bars if you just want to sit and chill - love it!

This is a well preserved site which has been renovated to provide a somewhat rustic shopping mall experience. As we visited one matron walked in to the museum, signed Museum on the door and asked "is this the museum". There were plenty of cruise ship shoppers there, if you have been to other historic forts and sites then this may be a disappointment

We visited Nelson's Dockyard as part of a ship's excursion. We were given a very brief explanation of the dockyard and its function, and then given an hour to explore on our own. I would have liked to have spent more time there to explore the little shops, the historical buildings, and the dockyards. There was also a covered market place with vendors' stalls which looked very interesting. We enjoyed looking at the beautiful yachts and even saw a couple of wild goats grazing nearby. If we had made the trip on our own, I think we could have easily spent several hours just wandering around exploring this pleasant, interesting place.

Beautifully restored, very good restaurant and a lot to think about afterwards.Getting ready for Antigua sailing week too, so the billionaire's playthings were arriving

It is the obvious Tourist attraction with all its history which is presented well in the Admiral's House but get there early. Lots of places to eat and drink. The Bakery is excellent if you want a light snack and drink. The Ticket includes your entrance to Shirley Heights. We had coffee in The Admiral's Inn Hotel with seats by the water's edge and way from the tourists.1.5 to 2 hours is more than enough especially when all the cruise excursions arrive.

Well worth a visit to see the original buildings which are now in use for various commercial purposes, which seem to be mainly aimed at the large numbers of cruise ship passengers who visit, and with interesting small museum. Nice place to chill, eat, drink and watch the activity on the boats moored there and coming and going. Only ATM and bank we found in the area situated here. Nice bakery with lovely meat or veggy patties. Water taxi available to Galleon Beach

A lot of walking, but being a young 50 something I enjoyed the day seeing a lot of history, we were on a official tour from P.& O. s. ship the Oceana. A lovely location & very well kept. Would go there again.Definately

Worth the visit if you are doing it as part of a trip but don't especially just to here.............
