This little known fort was built in 1799. It is clean and well preserved. There is a view of the bay and the tennis court size flag at the Donkin reserve can be seen in the distance. .

Historic site with amazing view of the city. It is very interesting to see the bunkers and little rooms built so many years ago. A must see especially for the local Port Elizabethans. Our city is beautiful
Gate closes at 430

Place was close and not open as per website, very disappointed in this, but what can you expect from EC. Pictures of outside of fort for those interested.

A true relic of the past. It is well worth a look at, if you have the time. You can also get amazing views of the Port Elizabeth harbour.
There is however no information centre at Fort Frederick, so getting a good background information before arriving will help.

It's a brick fort with old cannons.
There are no signs telling the history of the place. The view is upon the port and some industrial buildings.

In both buildings inside the walls there were people looking like hobos who started yelling when we got nearby. Unpleasant experience.

This is a very nice place to have a chilled time with your family or friends.
It has wide space for events also. With a historical monument, going back to the 1800s.

It's a public area. Tourists always come over. They don't miss it.
