Fully restored to its original splendor, the
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century buildings of the Dockyard house modern
amenities such as gift shops, art galleries, and restaurants, hotels, and
marina businesses. These demonstrate how the park preserves the area’s unique
cultural heritage while meeting modern needs. The Copper and Lumber Store Hotel
offers five-star accommodations and is a magnificent venue for special
occasions. Outside the dockyard,
historic forts dot the landscape of the park accessible by hiking trails which
allow visitors to enjoy the park’s scenic and natural beauty. Today, Nelson’s
Dockyard provides many sites and activities for visitors to explore and enjoy.
The Dockyard Museum, located in the former Admiral’s House, presents visitors
with exhibits regarding the Dockyard’s history and current archaeological
research on the island.
There is endless opportunity to capture the beauty of
the parks. With many glorious boats in the dockyard, the beautiful harbour, the
historic sites and the unforgettable views from places such as Shirley Heights,
bring your camera or have regrets that you didn’t. Interested in a bit of
history? Nelsons Dockyard is the place to be.
