Gun Hill Station
(Attractions & Activities - Sightseeing)
Hwy 4 • 246-429-1358
Description: ST. GEORGE PARISH. Visit this spot on a clear day – the views are amazing and stretch from east to west. This signal station was built in 1818 as a communication point and station for sick British soldiers. The Barbados National Trust owns and operates the station, which is one of only two such stations still in existence on the island. Be sure you examine the huge lion carved from a single rock. Captain Henry Wilkinson completed it in 1868 during his off-duty hours. The old military kitchen is now a snack bar serving refreshments, and a gift shop is available for souvenir buying.
