ジャージーの洞窟・トップ4

The ruins in the far northwest corner of the island are a beautiful place for a hiking break.

Nice walk

Interesting, although Mont Orgueill is more exciting. We liked the actors, dressed in witty and authentic clothes, demonstrating the wear and tear of a musket and then a cannon with a shot.

Grosnez Castle is a small 14th-century castle ruin located 4.5 kilometers from Saint Ouen, on the northwest coast of the Channel Island of Jersey. The name is derived from the Patois word grar ness – for "grey headland" – an apt description of the site. The castle was built around 1330 by Sir John des Roches. The gatehouse, the highest remaining part of the ruins, was protected by a drawbridge and a portcullis. However, the castle had several weaknesses. There was no second level of defence and no sally ports for counterattacks. Most importantly, there was no water supply within the walls. The castle was captured by French troops in 1373 and 1381 and was probably destroyed during the occupation of Jersey (1461–1468). Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grosnez_Castle

Elizabeth Castle (occasionally misspelled as Elisabeth Castle, even in English publications) is an island fortress built from the 16th century onwards, covering approximately 24 hectares on a tidal island off Saint Helier, the largest town on the Channel Island of Jersey. It was used until 1923 and was further fortified during the German occupation of Jersey from 1940 to 1945. Today, Elizabeth Castle is a tourist attraction.

Mont Orgueil Castle (or Gorey Castle) is located on the Channel Island of Jersey in the parish of Saint Martin above the town of Gorey (Gorey Pier), on the east coast facing the French Cotentin Peninsula. The fortress can be reached via steep steps at the eastern end of the harbor or through the town toward Anne Port. The fortress's imposing location prompted the brother of the English King Henry V, Thomas of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Clarence (1388–1421), to call it "Mont Orgueil" (Proud Mountain); thus the name originated.
