The Jersey War Tunnels were built in 1941 as a means of protection from air strikes for the forces who were occupying Jersey at that time.
After a busy day exploring the sights of Jersey, why not stop by the Old Court House Inn? With 10 comfortable en-suite bedrooms, delicious pub dishes and plenty of award-winning Liberation beer, it is the perfect place to drink, dine or stay.
The Jersey War Tunnels were built by slaves, under instruction from German soldiers who occupied Jersey during World War II.
Although they were never completed (or used for their intended purpose), there is a network of tunnels that stretch for more than 1,000 metres.
Now acting as a museum, the Jersey War Tunnels tell the story of the suffering and hardship that were endured at that time.
A visit to the Jersey War Tunnels is highly recommended and is the perfect way to spend some time learning about the history of Jersey.
In addition to the tunnels, visitors can also explore the Garden of Reflection, the historic War Trail, or take some time to contemplate and relax in the on-site cafe.
