The City of Hamilton is a great spot for a photoshoot! On this “photoshoot” journey - we’ll visit a number of locations… all within walking distance from one another. This city has charming pastel buildings boasting Bermuda’s unique architecture and white roofs. Hamilton also provides stunning water views and palm trees for days!
To ensure enough time for all of the cool spots in “TAWN” (as we say here in Bermuda), a 90min session is required. If we’re also making time to visit Ft. Hamilton, a 2-hour session is required. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes; we’ll be doing a little exploring!
~ Queen Elizabeth Par-la-Ville Park ~
The Queen Elizabeth Par-la-Ville Park - also known simply as the “Par-la-Ville Sculpture Park is a joint project between the Corporation of Hamilton and the Bermuda National Gallery situated in the Queen Elizabeth Park in the centre of Hamilton. The majority of the sculptures on display are part of The John Hinson Young II and Nelga Young Collection which was gifted to the BNG by the former owners of the Lantana Cottage Colony in Somerset. “ (Bermuda National Gallery)
~ ALBUOY’S POINT & BARR’S BAY PARK ~
Looking for a water backdrop? The City of Hamilton also provides just that! Albuoy’s Point is located close to the ferry terminal and boats a stunning view of Harbour Road’s neighborhood in the background. ”Lying at the water’s edge of Hamilton Harbour is the idyllic Barr's Bay Park. This relatively small park is a veritable jewel in the City’s crown. Barr’s Bay Park has an unrivaled view over the yachting marina of the nearby yacht club. (City of Hamilton)
~ FORT HAMILTON ~
”Located at the eastern edge of the City, with sweeping views across Hamilton and its Harbour lies, Fort Hamilton. It was built in 1870 by the British as the first line of defense for the City against any unprovoked attack. In reality, it never saw battle, and no cannon was ever fired in defense from its ramparts. Today the Fort has been transformed into a public park.” (City of Hamilton)
