Other great places to visit if you are staying longer!

Mont Orgueil Castle is a short, walk up the cliff overlooking Gorey Pier. It’s one of the best examples of a medieval fortress and symbol of Jersey’s proud national identity and independent character.

La Rocque Harbour is home to the historic La Rocque Tower, a Martello Tower, built in 1796. This iconic structure offers an insight into Jersey’s miliary history and provides a great vantage point for panoramic views of the surrounding coastline. There’s also some lovely walks to be enjoyed, as well as bird watching, especially during migration seasons, when a huge range of species can be spotted.

Elizabeth Castle is accessible by foot in low tide or a 15-minute fun-filled ferry from St. Helier Harbour – known with affection by the locals as ‘The Duck’! The Castle was constructed in the 16th Century and played a crucial defensive role for Jersey over the centuries and replaced Mount Orgueil Castle as the primary stronghold due to its strategic position. It features a blend of medieval, Tudor and military architectural styles.
