This museum covers Guernsey's military history, including World War One and the German Occupation of the island from 1940-1945, as well as the island's own milita. Set in a complex of air-conditioned tunnels that were built by German forces as a fuel storage for their U-Boats.

Hauteville House

The French writer, Victor Hugo, spent 15 years in exile in Guernsey during the 19th century and his St Peter Port house is well worth a visit. The gardens have also been faithfully renovated and include a kitchen garden, fruit trees and Hugo’s United States of Europe Oak.
