Introduction
Georgetown is the capital of Ascension Island with a total population of about 600 inhabitants. Located on the west side of the island, it is small town but with all the basic needs for the local people like a hospital, police station, post offices, a supermarket and the St. Mary's Church at the town centre. Children however have to go further inland to attend school and Georgetown remains the cultural heart of the island where most activities are based or started. There are a few facilities for travellers. Sights are mainly out of town, where there are several forts, one of which has a museum.
