Castle Cornet
Description
St Peter Port's main defense and like its cousin in St Hellier, separated from the land by almost a mile. Unlike Jersey, someone in the 19th century decided to build a breakwater out to the island so that the castle is permanently accessible. The staff give a daily guided tour round the site, giving you a background to the history of the complex. The tour ends at the noon day gun, seconds before it is fired. The site itself has separate 4 museums housed in different parts of the building along with other memorabilia scattered around the site
