The hill is home to a number of attractions, including a historic cannon and a memorial to the soldiers who fought in the Battle of Waterloo.

One of the most popular activities at Gun Hill is hiking. The hill is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are a number of trails that wind their way up to the summit.
