Castle cornet
The most famous in Guernsey is Castle Cornet, situated at the entrance to St.Peter Port harbour. The Story of Castle Cornet is told brilliantly, by using models, pictures, exhibits and information boards. This can be seen at Castle Cornet.
Schools are able to book a visit with Mrs Ashton who will tell the story and show artefacts.
