Has a beautiful view and of great historic significance. It is one of UNESCOs world heritage sites. Could be easily accessed from Banjul by crossing to the north bank using the ferry. The British fought the Barra war from this point.

Great historic significance also one of UNESCOs world heritage sites. The British fought the Barra war from this point. The tipping point to end slavery.

A nice and impressive place of history. The guide did a good job.

Great place to learn about British colonialism in West Africa.

Not a lot to see but a knowledge guide with slot of useful information about the history

Great overview of the whole sad slavery chapter. The fort is intact and had a very enthusiastic curator who showed us around and provided a good explanation. Some gory exhibits. Take a local guide to escort you to the ferry and fort and see the piroque boat building next door. Amazing skill to build from mahogany planks. Great day out.

fort bullen was not built to keep slaves, instead it was built to stop the entrance of those people who come to take slaves.

Minor detour from Barra, very informative museum on UK abolition of slave trade in 1807. Bullen himself was at Trafalgar in 1804 then assigned to West Africa coast.

It’s great to hear a history of this place and use your imagination

Fort Bullen has been an important outpost at various times and I think it's history is fascinating. I usually try and avoid using a Guide as I like to read up before hand and then enjoy a slow wander about. However, Halimma was a really good guide at the Fort and she added some fascinating facts about life in the region. I thought the Fort was in reasonable condition and you can visualize how it all worked in the past. Their is a nearby cafe (ex-commisioners house) in the grounds of the fort and a toilet block about 400 yards away from the cafe. You'll need a key to use the toilet facilities.

Good place to visit to understand slavery and colonialism in The Gambia including the efforts to end it.
