Coastal Fortifications

Explore the strategic military architecture of the Channel Islands, featuring defenses ranging from 19th-century Martello towers to massive World War II bunkers.

In Alderney, the extensive ruins of Fort Tourgis and the causeway-linked Fort Clonque highlight Victorian-era engineering designed to counter French naval threats, while Fort Saumarez demonstrates the layering of 20th-century observation towers atop earlier circular granite structures.
