Mont Orgueil Castle
Mont Orgueil, popularly known as Gorey Castle, is Jersey’s most iconic landmark. Situated on the east coast of the island, the Castle was built in the 13th century to defend the island from attack by the French, whose coast could easily seen from the Castle battlements just 14 miles away. Unused and ruined in the 1600s, it subsequently became the main Jersey prison before being renovated in the 18th century for soldier’s accommodation. It became a major tourist attraction in the mid-19th century after a visit by Queen Victoria, and became a museum in 1929. It remains the most famous and popular site in the Channel Islands and is breathtaking to visit.

Jersey War Tunnels
The complex of tunnels known as Höhlgangsanlage 8 (Ho8) has a special link to the war and the Liberation of Jersey. It was built between 1941-1943 using forced and slave labour from countries throughout German conquered Europe. It is the only accessible tunnel complex in Jersey of those built as a consequence of Adolf Hitler’s order to convert the occupied British Channel Islands into an 'impregnable fortress'. Its construction involved the removal of some 14,000 tons of rock and the use of 4,000 tons of concrete to line its corridors and galleries. From late 1943 onwards, the complex was transformed from its original purpose as a bombproof munitions barracks and artillery workshop, into a casualty receiving station capable of coping with several hundred casualties in the event of an Allied invasion. Today the tunnel of Ho8 is the definitive museum of the German Occupation of Jersey 1940-1945.

Royal Square
Royal Square is an imposing keystone which holds many memories of Jersey's history. The Fanfare composed by Jon Lord based on a traditional Jersey melody "La Chanson de Peirson" will be premiered here on the very spot that Major Peirson fell in 1781 defending the island. On that day British troops including the Jersey Militia defended the island from French invaders in the Battle of Jersey. It was a short and fierce battle with the British forces under Major Pierson emerging victorious, preserving the freedom of the island. It was the last land battle to be fought on British soil. Bullet holes can still be seen on the granite walls surrounding the square. Sadly while his troops were victorious, Major Peirson died in the battle.
It was also from the balcony of the States Assembly that Sir Alexander Coutanche, the island's wartime Bailiff, informed islanders in 1940 that they were to be occupied by German forces and five years later that the island had been liberated.
