Jersey day Three Mont Orgueil castle

Mont Orgueil Castle Jersey 

It’s day three in Jersey after breakfast it was a quick walk into St Helier to pop into Liberation supermarket which is Waitrose because of their fix price lunch offer £5. We caught the No1 bus to visit the original castle in Gorey.

The castle is £19 each to visit and I have to say it’s good value, there’s an actor running around playing a surf and he goes to great lengths to make it fun and interesting. Each aspect of castle design is explained and how it was adapted for gunpowder and cannons. There are exhibits inside with statues from the castle and an art piece of Queen Elizabeth 2nd hologram picture from 2007 and a video about its creation. There’s a little playground for younger children. 

Gorey Beach

After a couple of hours roaming the castle it was time for the packed lunch we’d picked up earlier. We found a deserted beach and ate our wraps and crisps. With the beech being below the castle it was a great place to find sea glass so there was an hour roaming around picking up pieces. There was a lot to be had and we managed to fill a little bag with pieces.

We decided to get the bus back to the beach near the hotel, we got out a few stops early and looked down the shingles on the beach, there were a few pieces not much. Back in the hotel it was the last of the complimentary Prosecco and a GnT before chilling by the pool. 

Soon it will be time for Tea and a wind down before bed. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. 

Have fun stay safe 👍🏼
