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!

Castle cornet has a fascinating history, great for kids for look around and for adults also, Remember to be there fro the noon day gun firing, 3 museums in one, local Militia, castle history, and the 201 squadron, long walk to it though.

Feels more like the interior of a French ocean-liner of the period than a church. You must visit this church if you are interested in classy glass-makers.Here you have the only glass font in the world, striking door panels,ornate coloured Jersey lilies in an alcove, a real treat for the eye. I can't say I loved it as a church; it seemed uninviting, a little chilly . But as a unique Lalique commission for a church. Jersey tourism should make much more of its presence on the island than it does.Wow !

There are few distinguishing landmarks, but look for the signs at the entrance to the track onto Les Landes Common at the top of the steep hill above L'Etacq. This is a restored section of the army battery 'Moltke' which once sprawled across the headland. On permanent exterior display is one of the original 15.5cm K418(f) French field guns from the battery, initially pushed over the nearby cliffs

This place is interesting for any military enthusiast but it also offers great views of the West Coast of Jersey and other Channel Islands. The Moltke battery is a combination of bunkers and artillery stands for heavy guns - to fully assess its role in the defence system built by the Germans on the west coast of Jersey, you should also visit another strongoint: Corbiere, at the southern tip of the bay. Each of these points had a dozen or so heavy cannons towering over the entire beach between them, as well as own artillery tower to coordinate the fire (an impressive reinforced concrete structure - it's worth going there, as it's only about 15-20 minutes of walk, along the cliff path). And if we add to this numerous bunkers that are located over the long beach, between these points it is not difficult to conclude that abandoning the invasion of the island of Jersey was a good decision that saved the lives of many Allied soldiers, even if the inhabitants were occupied until the very end of the war . Unfortunately, we visited this place after the season, so everything could only be seen from the outside only but it was still a delight for a military lover and an interesting for engineer, because like other bunkers built by the Germans on Jersey, the structures that make up the Moltke battery, they are very solid and will probably remain part of the local landscape for hundreds of years.
