Castle Cornet
Recommended by
Overview
The history of this magnificent castle spans eight centuries and its buildings now house several museums. Look for the Maritime Museum that charts Guernsey's nautical history, the 'Story of Castle Cornet' with its mystery skeleton and the 201 squadron RAF Museum. A refurbished Regimental Museum of the Royal Guernsey Militia and Royal Guernsey Light Infantry is now open. Soldiers fire the noonday gun in a daily ceremony. A programme of living history, theatre, music and family events take place throughout the year.

About the area
Guernsey is far from being a large island – it covers only 25 square miles (65 sq km). But it does have a long and complex history, which has left it independent in most matters from its immediate neighbours; the UK and France.
