High Knoll Fort stands 600 metres above sea level and is the largest, most prominent and most complete of the forts and military installations on the island. It is located to the south west of, and overlooking Jamestown. It is designated as a Grade I Listed Building and has twice been voted one of the Seven Wonders of St Helena.

The current fort was built by the Royal Engineers in 1874, but this structure incorporated an earlier fort on the site built in around 1790 by Governor Brooke. This earlier fort comprised a high, square structure with two outer towers and stone ramparts. On Read’s 1817 map this fort was named ‘High Knoll Citadel’.
It makes for a good subject to photograph

No harm whatsoever in taking a break from flying. I do each Winter to practise my other hobby of astronomy. One of the things I plan to do next year is to film ancient hill forts / monuments and carvings, but will be a long term project. You are fortunate that your location is one that very few will get to see, so what will be mundane or "everyday" to you, will be of interest to everyone else...
What does the town / city where you live look like from the air, a harbour and the boats that stop by, the wildlife? There has to be zero light pollution from many places, what does your night sky look like?
Good luck,
Chris
