Gun Hill Signal Station

The historic signal station in St George, with the famous Lion carved from the local limestone. Fantastic 360 degree views across St George and neighbouring parishes. A visit is highly recommended, learn how this site fitted into the chain of signaling stations across Barbados.

Great historic site, with cafe, gardens, and interpretation. Fantastic views of the island. Worth it just for that! Great attached garden areas, plenty of cannon (original) and plenty of history, learning and information. Can't remember how much tickets were, but we're available at the door. And reasonable. Would recommend!

This is a signal station used during slavery. It's a beautifully maintained museum/event center and the proprietors gave us a brief, but informative history lesson on how the stations were used. Super dope spot

Wonderful scenery. You're able to see the more of the island when climbing to the top.

Pros: Exceeded expectations. Expected good views but they were !!! Went on Saturday and very quiet.. Took a short video because photos just can't capture it.They have play area for kids. Clean washrooms. Very friendly welcome. Wasn't sure if I wanted to pay the entrance if 15 but so glad I did. Flowers, Old lights leading up the trail. Cons: Would have like to see the old Cannons in action and see how far cannonballs could travel...could they reach the ocean and take out the vicious Pirates? One can dream?

Very cool signal station with an interesting history. Beautiful view from the top of the tower and lots of interesting posters and maps that help you understand the historical context. We also had lunch there - which was lovely. Choice of a starch, meat, and salad, as well as a drink. The price for this was included in the tour I was on so I can't comment on the food prices, but the drinks prices I saw at the bar were pretty pricey so I would expect the food to be too.

This was a very interesting historical site to walk around and explore. There are a lot of informative displays to read and look at. The grounds were lovely as well - there are a lot of tropical plants around the property.

A few things to read about the history up on the hill. Not really worth the entry fee but I suppose it’s required for the upkeep. Self guided and done in 30 minutes tops. If you’re nearby go for it but don’t make a long trek to get here.
