Sights in Jersey

  1. Jersey War Tunnels

    This fascinating, spooky museum tells the story of the German occupation of the Channel Islands during WWII. It is housed in the eerie surroundings of an underground hospital, built around a network of tunnels that were hacked out during the war by slave labourers. The exhibitions are well mounted, with plenty of sound and light displays.

    The facilities also include a shop, cafe and garden.

  2. Jersey Zoo

    This inspirational zoo was founded by writer and naturalist Gerald Durrell. The emphasis is on the conservation of endangered species, rather than on displaying animals. Inhabitants have a remarkable amount of freedom, with monkeys and lemurs roaming around a natural wooded environment. The centre breeds endangered animals and releases them into the wild.
