- Signal Hill National Historic site is one of the most popular and well-known landmarks in all of St. John's, Newfoundland.
As you make your way around the city, you'll be hard pressed to find a place were you can't see it. Situated at the top of a hill at the entrance to the St. John's harbour, this old fort and telegraph station has a long history.
As you tour Signal Hill, you will have a chance to see a handful of out buildings, in addition to a series of trails around the grounds. There are several parking lots for you to use, but most people will park by the visitor center and take the trail up to the top.
Inside the building you will find a gift shop at the base, and then information about the function of the building, it's history, and some great views of the harbour from on top.
In addition to visiting this National Historic site, we had a chance to take part in some of their programming - Defenders of the Narrows, where you can fire a musket and help protect the St. John's harbour from intruders!

The joys of weather here in Atlantic Canada...wait a minute and it will change once again ;-) A great historical vignette... Got to get there one day for sure! So much significance to Canada's identity! Take great care now...Bruce and Otis
Lets just say, people don't go to Newfoundland for the weather!
Your editing is spot on, your narration is clear and captivating, the video footage has you engrossed, great share, stay blessed and safe, your friend Traveller MIA 🇬🇧
Thank you sir! This was a fun video to make. The area very interesting - both visually and historically!
Newfoundland should give you THE key. A modern hero for promoting its impressive beauty, history and culture. You looked awesome in that outfit. I could see the gun really had a tremendous recoil. Great footage brother.
Thanks! We loved our time in Newfoundland, and I really do hope all these videos help highlight the province, and people will be inspired after watching them! We'll have a whole other video on the gun firing!
Really nice! I need to get there one day. Love the history. Nice that you got to shoot. Thanks for sharing. 👍😀
The area is nice, and has the most iconic views of the city from there. The shooting of the guns was a blast, and something worth doing while you're there!
Really good angles on some of those scenes. Puts you into location very nicely.
Thanks! You have a lot of really good views from this location - perhaps the best in the city!
Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the beauty of Newfoundland since travel has not been possible to Canada. We enjoyed the history lesson as well. 😊 John and Bev
Hopefully soon you will get to come up this way! My parents are actually going to visit Newfoundland next week for a bit! They haven't been there since I was a little kid, lol. Yes, lots of history in this part of the country.
Oh wow, super wide screen for this iconic location. The view over the water is pretty sweet. We are suckers for visitor centers. This place looks cool. Morris code is pretty cool. You need to wear that outfit for all your videos 🤣
You may get your wish granted for at least one more video!
@@DestinationEarth Yes!!!!
This is some really great history! The View on top of Signal Hill was pretty amazing. That's so awesome you guys were able to shoot a Civil War era rifle like that! I really like how you edited this video Josh.
Oh yeah - shooting that gun was awesome! I am so happy they were willing to showcase that experience through us. I hope it shows others how fun it can be.
Oh you changed your channels name! 🤔
Yup! Wanted something that included Akane, and something that would be more suitable for our business!
