Grenade Hall Forest and Signal Station
Grenade Hall Forest and Signal Station (Farley Hill, St. Peter Parish) — Both history and nature lovers will appreciate a visit to Grenade Hall, an attraction which combines a restored historic signal station and a natural forest. In fact it’s really a three-in-one attraction since one entry fee gains admission to both Grenade Hall and the Barbados Wildlife Reserve. The station was originally constructed in 1819 and was one of a group of signal stations used for communication across the island, for example to warn of approaching ships or of slave rebellions. These towers were constructed in strategic locations around the island on high ground. What made these ideal lookout points for communication in the 1800’s now make them the perfect vantage points for appreciating the natural beauty of the island. Open daily (10 am to 5 pm).
