Gun Hill Signal Station

Gun Hill Signal Station is located in the parish of St. George in the middle of the island.

After the major slave revolt in 1816, six signal stations were established across the island to warn the military based at The Garrison Savannah in Bridgetown.

Gun Hill Signal Station was completed in 1818 and is the grandest of all the signal stations. Its position commands stunning views of the entire island and there is plenty of memorabilia from days gone by. It is open from 9am until 5pm Monday to Saturday. Entrance is $9.20BDS for adults and children are half price.

Children will also enjoy the 10ft high Lion, which was carved by Captain Henry Wilkinson an officer at Gun Hill Signal Station in 1868 from one single rock!
