German Naval Signals HQ

This was the headquarters of the German Naval Commander of the Channel Islands during WWII. The Signals HQ handled all the important radio signals traffic for the German Forces during the Occupation. The bunker complex was completed in 1944 and housed powerful communication equipment and Enigma enciphering machines. Over half the complex has been restored to its wartime appearance with original fixtures, fittings, objects and equipment.

Reviewed By bootsmannsmaat

The German Naval Signal Station is a superbly restored German Naval Command Bunker, with great exhibits with rooms restored as they would have been back in the 1940’s. Well worth spending an hour or two if you are interested in the German Occupation. I have visited several time and will do again the May 2020

Castle Cornet

An 800 year old castle that boasts incredible views of the whole East coast of Guernsey and across to the other islands of Herm, Sark and Alderney. Steeped in history that includes the English civil war and the German Occupation of the castle and islands during the second world war. There are four museums on military history, the RAF and the story of the castle and a new maritime museum hoping to be unveiled later in 2021. The grounds and gardens benefit from a full-time castle keeper tending the historic gardens and keeping it looking beautiful. The daily noon-day gun firing of a 32 pound cannon by a gunner in traditional 19th century uniform is the highlight of any visit and can be accompanied by a castle tour in the morning, tea in the cafe and relaxing in the sunshine!

The Guernsey Tapestry

The Guernsey Tapestry is a fantastic way to understand the complex history of the islands. Ten panels (all stitched by locals to celebrate the Millenium) beautifully explain the events of each century. An easy to use and understand audio guide adds to the experience (available in English, French and German). A quote from the visitors book 'This was a wonderful way of telling history - I've never seen anything quite like it - don't miss it!'

Told of the Guernsey Island history, really nice that every community on the island got involved in the tapestry

Entry to the gardens and library is free, there is a small charge for the museum and art galleries.

Reviewed By SergeLourie - Richmond-upon-Thames, United Kingdom

We arrived at Guernsey after a terrible trip on mediocre Condor Ferries. As a result of bad weather, our Ferry on Wednesday was cancelled and we could only travel on Thursday without our car as the ferry was packed. We were staying at the excellent Duke of Richmond Hotel and, as it was near the port, decided to walk. It was a good decision as it included a walk through Candie gardens which are a lovely municipal park. The gardens are very well maintained and very interesting with historic greenhouses, and excellent cafe and the Guernsey Museum and Art Gallery
