Gorey: Mont Orgueil
Description
Having had the English Civil War pass it by this is one of the best preserved medieval castles in the British Isles. Situated half way up the short East Coast of the Island it commands the bays to the South of the island and looks across the seas towards France. This is a large site and it takes a good couple of hours to explore the whole space. Lots of well presented information boards that help you to explore virtually all the castle. From the roof of the keep there are stunning views over the coast, and on a clear day across to France.
