Signal Hill is steeped in history and has breathtaking views. Be prepared for high winds and bring warm coats/sweaters for the cold temperatures coming off the ocean.

My husband and I enjoyed a chilly trip around the trails at the top of St. John's. The views were spectacular and the grounds are well maintained. There is also a pleasant little gift shop with the Marconi Museum - a great place to take refuge from the wind for a bit.

This was a must see experience while in St-John's. Beautiful views of the Narrows, Cape Spear and the city of St-John's. Surrounded by lovely picturesque trails. Wear good shoes, bring your camera and feast your eyes!

If you are in St Johns, you must visit Signal Hill. You will have the most incredible views across the ocean and city, and can take walks around the cliff edges from simple strolls to hours of trails. As much as this spot has historical interest, my visits are simply for the views and walks, take binoculars and a camera... More

Was there today to take some pictures. This is an awesome place, well located and full of history. You have a great view on the City of St John's... its the best view possible. Let's get up there, its free and a good place to do excercise.
