Nelson's Lookout is a Caribbean fort up on Saddle Hill, a large, saddle-shaped hill (one of several ancient volcanic cores) in the southern part of the island of Nevis. You will need a guide to lead you up to Nelson's Lookout, because Saddle Hill Fort is overgrown with scrub, although many of the old stone walls are still visible.

This is the point from which Nelson reportedly used to check the ocean for ships coming from the south; he was watching for Spanish and French ships, which might have meant trouble, as well as for other British ships.

Back then, the old main road around the island, the "Lower Round Road", used to follow the coastline of Nevis, even going around south of Saddle Hill, but that strip of land has partly been lost to marine erosion.
