The prime attraction here is the magnificent Town of St. George. Visiting St. George's is like stepping inside a time machine. This UNESCO World Heritage Site at the far eastern tip of the island transports you to the days of Bermuda's early settlers.
Pose for pictures in replica stock and pillories, or stand by a ducking stool like the one once used to dip "gossips" and "scolds" in the town square. Today costumed actors such as Alison Outerbridge re-enact such events from colonial days. "I'm ducked three times a week in summer and twice a week in winter," she says. "It's lighthearted fun that everyone seems to enjoy."
The Old State House is the oldest stone dwelling on the island. The limestone building was constructed in 1620, using lime and turtle oil as mortar. It then became the home of Parliament, which had been meeting in St. Peter's Church.
Ordnance Island lies across a bridge from Town Square, where tourists can view a full-scale replica of the sailing ship Deliverance I.
Sir Thomas Gates, one of the original Sea Venture colonists, built Gates Fort, dating from 1609. Also worth a visit is Fort St. Catherine, which towers over the beach where the ship came aground.
