FORT LEICESTER Fort Leicester Jersey Heritage Email:  heritagelets@jerseyheritagetrust.org Phone: +44 (0)1534 633304 Web: www.jerseyheritage.org An amazing chance to stay in a 19th century fort in Jersey.

Fort Leicester is a magnificent 19th century fort that once was home to a defence force protecting Jersey’s north coast from French invasion. While conditions in the fort may once have been sparse this is certainly no longer the case with a level of comfort that does justice to the beautiful views that it commands.

In fact the stunning location of the fort immediately lends itself for use as holiday accommodation. The fort is split into two separate areas. A German searchlight position, added during the Occupation years of the Second World War, on the lower level houses the kitchen and dining area with ‘patio’ doors opening on to a balcony area with wonderful views of Bouley Bay, the Echréhous Reef and the distant Normandy coast of France. This area can also be used for extra sleeping accommodation should you want to share the experience with friends.

On the lower level of the 1836 guardhouse there is a spacious bathroom and a second bedroom, while the delightful main bedroom, with open fireplace, is on the upper floor. The Fort sleeps six comfortably but can accommodate eight and includes a double bedroom (plus daybed), adult bunks in the second bedroom and a sofa bed in the sitting room.

The fort also boasts two semi-private garden spaces for long summer evenings and drawn out barbeques. This accommodation is ideal for families wanting self-catering with a difference, sailors, fishermen, divers and those with an appreciation of history and heritage looking for an unusual holiday destination.

From walking Jersey’s outstanding cliff paths to swimming in the sea you are not far from any holiday pursuit that takes your fancy or simply relaxing in the quiet away from the bustle of home. Steep path and steps leading up to fort. The fort is on split-levels so there are steps within the grounds. The property is adjacent to cliffs and has high walls and long drops.
