An Outdoor Playground
Discover our FortsStep back in time and discover Norman castles, wartime forts and hidden tunnels around the Islands. Most are free to explore, open all year round, and can be incorporated into a coastal walk. Castle Cornet, Vale Castle, Fort Hommet and Fort Doyle all are excellent places to learn about Guernsey’s history.
