One of New Brunswick's lesser-known tourist sites, for some reason. If you have to go only one "touristy" place in Saint John, I would recommend Carleton Martello Tower over the Reversing Falls. The structure is one of relatively few in New Brunswick that exudes an old world/colonial feel characteristic of the few surviving early stone constructions in the province. Construction began in 1812. Even though it is closed for renovations as of mid-2018, just checking out the tower and surroudns is worthwhile - the view is one of the best possible of the city and surrounding area. Go here on a clear day. Picnic tables and two well-placed lawn chairs make this an interesting and calm place for a lunch on a sunny day.

We went to this place and I’m glad we did even if it was very foggy and windy!! It was amazing to read the history of the tower and why they made it. It’s worth stopping by and read about the history of this place. It was close when we went there so we couldn’t see the inside and it was very foggy we couldn’t see the whole city from the top but it was still an amazing experience!! :)

Carlton Martello tower is an interesting enough place to warrant a stop off if you are waiting for the local rapids to reverse. It's a Canadian national site preserving a British Martello type fortification used to defend from American attack during the wars of independence. Though it never saw action during that war or any other it is now a museum and exhibit. The tower is normally open for visits, however is as of 2018 under restoration.

Currently under renovation so you can't see the actual tower, but the little museum is great and the views are amazing.
