Castle Cornet and it's museums
Castle Cornet, Guernsey’s ancient royal fortress, has stood guard over the town and harbour of St Peter Port for nearly eight centuries. The story of the Castle and other aspects of Guernsey’s past can be found in the four museums housed within the Castle: The Story of Castle Cornet Museum, The Maritime Museum and Hatton Gallery, The 201 Squadron (RAF) Museum, The Royal Guernsey Militia Museum.
The Castle is also home to four well-researched ‘period’ gardens. There is a guided tour each morning and the Noon Day Gun is fired daily by soldiers in 19th century costume. A guided tour of the Castle Gardens is available most Sundays (May-Sept) at 2.15pm. On selected days the Guernsey Museums & Galleries ‘History in Action’ company enact stories from Guernsey’s past. With so much to see, plus the Refectory Café and the Castle Shop, a visit to the Castle makes a great day out!
