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!

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.

Dehus Dolmen

The Déhus Dolmen is a Prehistoric passage grave approximately 10 metres in length. One of the capstones has a remarkable carving featuring a bearded face, arms and hands, what appears to be a strung bow and a series of symbolic designs. Large quantities of finds dating from 3500-2000BC have been found at the site.

Reviewed By Hannhdowns - London, United Kingdom

This lovely little Dolmen has been restored so modern people can visit and enjoy. Low rated reviews do not take into account the Dolmen was not purpose build or situated as a tourist attraction. The lighting provided is outstanding to highlight the features of the chamber. It is a spiritual and a fascinating place, well maintained. I have visited similar places across Europe and have been expected to pay an entry fee. It is worth a detour. Fascinating.
