Mont Orgueil Castle

This castle is know locally as Gorey Castle. It was built in the 13th Century and is an important part of the island's hertiage.

Gorey Castle was built to defend against the invading French. It overlooks a small harbour and pier. You will find a series of small hotels, restaurants, shops and pubs along the pier.

The east facing Royal Bay of Grouville sits alongside, and the Jersey Potteries can be found in Gorey Village.

The castle has recently undergone a major renovation and is now free of scaffolding!

This is one of the best castles in Great Britain and is open all year round, although it is not open every day in the Winter months. Be aware that the castle closes during high winds, for safety reasons.

Various attractions are laid on, including falconry and children's activities.
