Burma Road is the easiest trail on Signal Hill with a wide, gently sloping surface from the Visitor Centre to an exit at Cuckhold's Cove.

Burma Road was built by American servicemen who manned coastal batteries on Signal Hill during the Second World War. Along the road were barracks for the soldiers. It continued on to link to Quidi Vidi village and an American base at Fort Pepperell beside Quidi Vidi Lake.
