Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park (BHFNP), spanning about 15 hectares, lies between the villages of New Guinea and Sandy Point along St. Kitts' northwest coast. Characterized by dry scrub vegetation, the site boasts a remarkable 17th-18th century British stone fortress, offering panoramic views of the sea and coastal lands. Recognized for its cultural and historical significance, the fortress was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. Managed by the Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park Society (BHFNPS), a non-governmental organization, the park preserves the legacy of British military engineering and the labour of African slaves who constructed and maintained it.

As one of the best-preserved historical fortifications in the Americas, Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park stands as a testament to the skill and endurance of its builders. Located on the island of St. Kitts, it represents a significant architectural and cultural heritage site for the Federation of St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis. Managed by the BHFNPS, a voluntary organization founded in 1965, the park is overseen by a Council of Management, responsible for policy decisions. With the General Manager serving as the chief executive officer, day-to-day operations are handled by the Park Manager and Park Supervisor.
