castle, and cut off by the tide every 12 hours,
there is nowhere better for a secluded holiday.
When the castle gates close, you’ll have the
whole castle to yourselves, making this one
of the most exclusive properties in Jersey.
The apartment sits within one of Jersey’s most
historic locations. Jersey’s capital St Helier is
named after the hermit who lived on the islet in
the 6th century. The castle was built during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth I and served as a military
base until 1924. Over two floors, the apartment is
in the old barrack block off the parade ground.
The main bedroom can sleep up to four people
and the large lounge has a double sofa bed.
Due to its location the apartment is only accessible
by foot at low tide (a 15 minute walk);
during castle opening hours, 9.30am to 5.30pm,
an amphibious vehicle runs at high and low tide
every 30 minutes. At the time of your booking
please discuss your travel arrangements with
a member of Jersey Heritage staff. They will
be able to advise you on tide times and the
amphibious vehicle service to the castle.
Two members of Jersey Heritage staff live at the
castle in a separate apartment. Elizabeth Castle

leWis’s ToWerSt Ouen’s Bay, St Ouen
Built in 1835 to help fortify Jersey’s coast, Lewis’s
Tower is one of many Martello towers, or gun
towers, built around St Ouen’s Bay at that time.
Split over three levels, this granite tower is basic
coastal tower accommodation with electricity and
lighting, but is not connected to any utilities.
Public toilets (open 24 hours) are located close by.
There is access by ladder to the roof, which is
ideal for sunbathing or looking at the view
across the bay.
Lewis’s Tower sits in the rugged landscape of the
dunes in Jersey’s only national park, close to the
nature reserve. The Tower has direct beach access
and makes a perfect base for an active beach trip.
Lewis’s Tower is close to many beachfront cafes
and restaurants. The Jersey surf school is close-by
and two golf courses are a short distance away.
Barge Aground, one of Jersey Heritage’s self-
catering properties, is just a hundred yards away
and can be rented in tandem with Lewis’s Tower.
Local regulations insist that there should be no
tents erected on site or in the surrounding area.
Guests must bring their own sleeping bags.
Rubbish must be cleared and removed from the tower.
Can accommodate 10 overnight guests in sleeping bags and 20 guests in daylight hours.10

Seymour Tower sits two miles offshore on one
of the largest inter-tidal reefs in the world. Built
as part of Jersey’s coastal defences, this square
tower dates from the 18th century. Seymour
Tower’s isolated location means access is
dependent on tidal conditions and all guests
must be accompanied by an accredited Seymour
Tower Guide (more information available from
Jersey Heritage) who will guide your trip to and
from the tower and stay with you overnight.
The accommodation in this coastal tower is spread
over two floors; solar panels on the roof generate
enough power for lighting and a fridge. A gas
stove for cooking, basic crockery and cutlery are
provided. Bunk beds accommodate seven guests
(sleeping bags not provided). Seymour Tower has
no running water, but drinking water is provided
along with logs for the wood burning stove.
Seymour Tower is perfect for anyone wanting
an adventure. Use it as a base for low water
fishing, guided walks at low tide, bird watching
and fishing. Completely isolated, a stay in the
tower is a unique experience –you’ll see the
force of the incoming tide and experience
Jersey’s marine wilderness first hand.
Guests must carry all of their own food,
clothes and sleeping bags out to the tower
for their stay. In addition all waste (including
bagged toilet waste) will need to be brought
back and disposed of on shore.
Please note the tower is only available to rent when
tidal conditions allow safe and manageable access
by foot and guests are limited to one overnight stay.

it has direct beach access. It’s a perfect place for
surfers, kite surfers, wind surfers or people just

la roCCo ToWerSt Ouen’s Bay, St Brelade
This tower is a striking landmark in the Bay of
St. Ouen. Dating from 1800, La Rocco Tower
was the last coastal tower in Jersey to be built
following the Conway design. It comprises a
fortified central tower with large surrounding gun
platform, built in an elevated position on top of
an offshore rocky outcrop, and was built as part
of the Island’s extensive coastal defence system.
A stay in this property is a truly unique
experience. Completely surrounded by sea
twice a day, La Rocco Tower offers a fantastic
base for fishing, bird watching and exploring
Jersey’s marine wilderness at low tide.
The Tower has been sensitively restored to
provide basic bunk accommodation for up to
seven guests. The offshore location means access
is dependent on tidal conditions and all guests
must be accompanied by an accredited guide.
La Rocco Tower is only available to rent when the
tide allows safe and manageable access on foot.
Can accommodate up to seven guests on bunks with an additional sleeping area for the guide.7
KemPT ToWerSt Ouen’s Bay, St Ouen
The Tower sleeps up to 12 guests in an open plan bunk area.12
Kempt Tower in St Ouen’s Bay on the west coast of
the Island was built in 1834 as a defensive tower
against possible French invasion. Constructed
with Jersey granite, the ground floor was used to
store weapons and ammunition whilst the upper
floor housed ten troops and their commanding
officer. A cannon was fixed to a rotating
platform on the roof. It is a Martello Tower and
the only one of its kind surviving in Jersey.
The Tower has been sensitively restored to create
a stunning, unique self-catering property for
up to 12 guests. The basement houses a fully
appointed kitchen and shower rooms. The
middle floor is a spacious and comfortable
contemporary reception and open plan sleeping
area with an open fire. The easily accessed roof
provides a unique view of the sweeping bay of
St. Ouen and is the perfect spot to enjoy evening
drinks, dinner or a barbecue as the sun sets.
The Tower sleeps up to 12 guests in an open plan
bunk area and is available for rent throughout
the year. Parking is available close by.
