À voir

Puffin Sculpture
Head to the island's west coast and experience the giant willow Puffin sculptures, commissioned by 'Bird on the Edge' and the 'National Trust for Jersey'. These sculptures were put on display to mark the 'Arrival of the Puffins', which highlights the plight of these wonderful birds and Jersey's key role in protecting the Puffins and other seabirds.
Plémont Bay
This has to be one of Jersey’s most beautiful beaches. Plémont has a natural drama and enchanting beauty all of its own. A sandy cove on the north-west tip of the island with many rock pools, fascinating sea caves, and even a fresh water waterfall.
Grosnez Castle
Grosnez Castle is a ruined 14th-century castle in St. Ouen, situated in Grosnez in the north west corner of the island. Philippe de Carteret held it against the French when they took half of Jersey between 1461 and 1467, but it has been a ruin since the mid 16th century.
Strongpoint Plémont
Explore the newly restored headland at Plémont and discover a German Second World War Strongpoint. Strongpoint Plemont was a multi-leveled defence with stunning views of the other Channel Islands and Normandy. You will find remains of mortar, machine gun, anti-aircraft and searchlight bunkers. The site is on cliff paths, please take care.
Devil’s Hole
Descend a winding path passing a sinister statue, to discover the Devil’s Hole; an impressive and strangely eerie blowhole that has been eroded into Jersey’s coastline over the millennia.
Grève de Lecq Beach
This sheltered north facing beach is fringed with wooded slopes and leafy country pubs. A firm favourite with families, with rocks to climb, pools to search for critters in, a sea that’s never too far out even at a low tide and lifeguards during the summer months, all make this beach a winner.
Strongpoint Grève de Lecq
Grève de Lecq Bay was a German strongpoint during the Occupation. The German Forces deployed a lot of armaments and bunkers in the area. In the middle of the bay a Jersey Round Tower dominates the view, this Napoleonic era tower was also modified by the Germans to include a secure bunker at the base, and a roof-mounted machine gun.
Sorel Point
Situated next to a working quarry, this headland has a complex multistage history of moving magma. Beyond the lighthouse built in 1938, the headland stretches out into the sea in a spine of different coloured rocks.
ArtHouse Jersey at Grève de Lecq Barracks
Grève de Lecq Barracks is home to ArtHouse Jersey’s Headquarters. The charity exists to serve our Island community and international audiences by supporting artists from Jersey and across the world to create ambitious work.
