Mont Orgueil Castle

Mont Orgueil Castle stands on a steep crag on the eastern shore of Jersey, just nine miles from the French coast. The local, national and international significance of this fortress, built in King John’s reign as a last bastion of English rule in France, is huge. The education service makes use of experiential approaches, helped by the castle itself which eloquently tells its own story of invasion, siege, defensive design and living conditions. Under the control of the Jersey Heritage Trust, the education service has excellent links with all the schools on the island and is able to offer free educational visits, even including the programmed activities. Jersey is justly proud of its castle, and its schools can be proud of the exciting and inspirational visits available to them there.
