Grosnez Castle
The 14th-century castle ruins on a clifftop in the northwest, with only one archway remaining, surrounded by heather moorland and sweeping sea views.
Grosnez Castle was built in the 14th century as a refuge on the cliffs of Jersey's northwest corner. Today only the remnants of the gateway arch and a few sections of wall survive, but the setting is spectacular. It stands on a granite clifftop about 60 metres high, surrounded by purple heather moorland. On clear days, you can see neighbouring islands such as Guernsey and Sark. Admission is free, and there is a car park nearby. It can be reached on foot from Plemont along the clifftop path. It is windy here, so take care near the cliff edges.
