There are six cannons here on Gun Hill, once an 18th century defence against pirates. There are lots of benches up here to enjoy the sea views but keep an eye out for the ghost of James Martin, a soldier who looked into the barrel of gun number 1 after it misfired and his head was blown off. The guns haven't been fired since then back in 1842.
