Garrison Walls

Historic Site

Garrison Walls

A stretch of curtain wall with bastions and a powder magazine, built to strengthen the defences of Scilly after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. It was re-built and extended to enclose a large headland in the 18thC. Re-armed in WWI, the garrison was an important signal station during WWII.
