This location is the first heavy artillery position, in range to interdict naval traffic and fire support for rest of coast to the North and Atlantic Wall beach approaches to the South East. Warning - German fortifications can be hazardous! ⚠️ Great place to walk and explore the west coast of Jersey but more to explore the German fortifications! Even if your not into ww2 history it's still very interesting for everyone! Will be heading back once the bunker has opened for the summer! This headland contains a number of formidable World War Two German defences constructed during the occupation of Jersey.
