"Gun Hill offers a panoramic view of Barbados. Used to communicate military emergencies and as rallying points in the event of civil disorder, the station was built as a security measure in 1818. Restored by the Barbados National Trust, it today houses military memorabilia. Visitors can also climb the tower, enjoy a picnic in the pavilion, or partake in food and drinks at the Fusilier Bar and Cafe."

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

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!

Interesting little visit to learn a bit of the history related to how the island was defended by Britain.

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.

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.
