This National Historic Site of Canada is part of the Halifax Defence Complex.

Situated on a bluff overlooking the entrance to Halifax Harbour at Ferguson's Cove is this historic fortress. Originally buit in 1793 as a key element in the defence of Halifax Harbour in the 19th and 20th centuries.

It was a command centre for harbour defences in World War II , which included observation posts, gun placements and an anti-submarine net which stretched across the harbour's entrance from Fort McNab on McNabs Island.

York Redoubt remained in military use until 1956. Buildings in the redoubt complex include what remains of the Duke of York's Martello tower (1798) and fortifications circa 1800, with additional expansions circa 1900 and advanced fortifications and artillery from the Second World War.
