HD Halifax Citadel Hill Fort George Nova Scotia, Canada National Historic Site in Halifax Travel

Fort George (named after King George II of Great Britain) is a National Historic Site in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and was established during Father Le Loutre's War. A series of four different defensive fortifications have occupied the summit of Citadel Hill since this time, with the construction and levelling resulting in the summit of the hill being dropped by ten to twelve metres. The first fort was simply a small redoubt which stood near the summit with a flagstaff and guardhouse. The first fort was part of the western perimeter wall for the old city which was protected by five stockaded forts. The others were Horsemans Fort, Cornwallis Fort, Fort Lutrell and Grenadier Fort. (The British built Fort Charlotte - named after King George's wife Charlotte - on Georges Island the following year in 1750.) No traces of any regular or permanent fortification appear on Citadel Hill until the commencement of the American Revolution.

One of the most enduring and recognized symbols of Citadel Hill's role in shaping Halifax is the daily ceremonial firing of the noon gun. The artillery is also used for formal occasions such as 21-gun salutes.
Fort George has a living history program featuring animators portraying life in the fort where soldiers of the 78th Highland Regiment, the Third Brigade of the Royal Artillery, soldiers wives, and civilian tradespersons re-enact life in 1869.
There are guided and self-guided tours available as well as audio-visual presentations and exhibits which serve to communicate the Citadel's role in shaping Halifax's and North America's history.

The Army Museum, located in the Citadel's Cavalier Block, displays a rare collection of weapons, medals and uniforms exploring Nova Scotia's army history. It is an independent non-profit museum but works in close partnership with the Citadel staff of Parks Canada.
In July 2006, Halifax Citadel celebrated the 100th anniversary of the withdrawal of the last British military forces from Canada. The citadel hosted over 1,000 re-enactors from around the world.
Approaching the Christmas season, Citadel Hill annually hosts a Victorian Christmas. Visitors are treated to crafts, carolers and games.

Great Dun Fell - North Pennines

View from the top of Great Dun Fell in the North Pennines, taken on 10th August 2012. It's not often you get a good view up here, since the weather station records over 200 days per year with mist. It also records over 100 days per year having gale-force winds. Despite the noise on the movie clip, there was only a breeze blowing. The view takes in the broad, bleak North Pennines, with a peep through to Teesdale beyond the Cow Green Reservoir. After Mickle Fell comes the Northern Yorkshire Dales, followed by the Lake District.
