A key Western Region fort near Busua and Dixcove
About this place
Fort Metal Cross sits near the fishing community of Dixcove and is one of the most important Western Region forts to add early.
It gives the directory a clear heritage anchor close to Busua, Butre and coastal stays, and helps visitors build a more complete fort route beyond Cape Coast and Elmina.
Add this because it connects the Western Region beach circuit with serious coastal heritage. It is especially useful for travellers staying in Busua or Dixcove.
