Data

Charles Island or Charles' Island, or Old Castle, is one of the "Castle Islands" of Castle Harbour in St George's Parish, Bermuda. It is a small isle, of just three and a half acres.

The Castle Islands are a group of historical importance for its original fortification. The ancient English forts on these Castle Islands are without parallel in North America, evidence of the beginning of the coastal defence system of the overseas British Empire.
