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

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

One of Jersey’s most famous landmarks - the best views are from the quiet lanes on the hillside to the east of the castle, avoiding the traffic and crowds.

There are some quiet lanes into Gorey from this direction, so nice to be able to avoid the tourist traffic!

A 15 minute film shows the history of Elisabeth Castle in a very pleasant way. As in all Jersey Heritage museums, smoking is strictly prohibited here!

Grosnez Castle towers over the northwestern tip of Jersey, above a bluff. This castle was built in the 14th century and had a protective function, especially during the Hundred Years War. Unfortunately, only the gate with surrounding walls and house foundations are preserved inside. If you want to experience the steep coast very close, just go down the steps to the beacon.

The existing fort, with its square tower and rectangular surrounds, was built in 1758. A dry ditch surrounded it, with access by drawbridge through a single gate that faced landward. Today it is surrounded by a golf course, so be careful! ⛳🏌️‍♀️

The castle ruin was built in the 14th century at this strategically favorable location and had a pronounced protective function during the 100-year war. Too bad that today essentially only the gateway with surrounding walls is preserved.

However, it is called Grosnez Castle. It has a magnificent view over the cliffs.
