Nice bit of history mainly for people who are interested in it. There are things for younger kids to do like finding the images that are scattered around and they will get a sticker at the end. I would recommend sticking round for the mid day firing of the cannon. Just to warn you it is really loud. On site cafe is really nice. One thing I would say though is if you are visiting be prepared to walk up a lot of stairs and they are uneven.

A really worthwhile visit for the £11 entry fee. Make sure you time your visit to be at the noon firing of the cannon but be prepared for the loud bang! Plenty of interesting military museums located throughout the castle as well.

I went by myself and had an absolutely fantastic time, there's loads of extra activities to keep kids busy so this would be a phenomenal day out for the family. There are several museums on site that cover everything from the history of the castle to Guernsey's military involvement so there's something for everyone, and the gardens are splendid with a fantastic view of Guernsey. I spent hours there and would recommend it to anyone!

Interesting fort close to the town. We were here on a cruise stop, and the fort is very close to the tender. Noon day gun definitely worth watching. Nice cake!

Really interesting place to go and if you time it right it's worth listening to the micro history reenactments that are on around midday. There's lots to see and read about and plenty of places to sit and either enjoy the views or just people watch. The entrance fee is reasonable as well at £11 per adult. Wear comfy shoes and visit the cafe... The carrot cake and lemon cake are lovely ??
