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 during the Second World War. There are four museums: The Story of Castle Cornet; 201 Squadron Museum; RGLI Museum and Militia Museum. There is a free tour at 10.30 on most days and a daily noon-day gun firing of a 32 pound cannon by a gunner dressed in the traditional 19th century redcoat of the Royal Guernsey Militia. Ideal for families there are free castle trails and activities. A cafe selling refreshments and light lunches and a gift shop selling a wide range of gifts and souvenirs will complete your visit.
