80th Anniversary Celebrations

Today you have a free day on Jersey to relax at your own pace, or our local representative will offer various optional excursions if you wish to explore the island further.

Why not visit La Hougue Bie, the most spectacular prehistoric monument on the Channel Islands? The 40-foot mound, which is topped by a medieval chapel, houses a Neolithic passage grave built around 3,000 BC. There is an introductory film, a film showing the building of the reproduction Long House, an archaeology museum, and a display of artefacts from the world's largest Celtic coin discovery made in 2012. There is also a German Command Centre which is now a memorial to the island's forced workers during World War II.

Or, you could visit stunning Gorey and Mont Orgueil Castle, and explore the pretty village and harbour. There is so much to see and do on the island.

We visit the Jersey War Tunnels – an enormous tunnel complex built by the Germans as an artillery barracks, but converted into a first aid field bunker as an emergency stand-by in 1943. It is now an excellent museum which tells the complete story of the Occupation through interactive displays.

We stop at St Brelade's Bay on our way home. Why not pop in for a drink at St Brelade's Hotel, a home to German soldiers during the Occupation.
