Fort Le Marchant
Located on the northern coast of Guernsey, th site of Fort Le Marchant has had a fort of some description since around 1680. However, towards the end of the 18th century fears of a French invasion grew, and the expansion of the fort was completed in 1805. A large barracks was also built here in 1854 however these have since been demolished.
Be aware of the colour of the flag that is flying as a rifle range is also located here and a red flag indicates the range is in use.
