Blog Info

I love Castles, History and Archaeology, If I could have my time again I would train to be a Archaeologist!
I am a keen artist and traveller, I seek adventure however I am also disabled and a dog owner.
So I thought it would be a neat idea to have a blog that I could share some photos of my castle hunting adventures and basic info on these sites from a disabled, dog owning artist!

Cadw Offers Disabled people and there companion Free access to there sites, If you have any problems, attitude or access on this generous offer make sure you contact Cadw so they can improve.

I have only provided basic info as there are enough sites on the net to give you this information.

This Castle Wales Site is brilliant, I have used it time and time again, even writing to the makers to compliment them

Castle Cornet - Guernsey


Castle Cornet

Parking is in the main port car park but it is limited
Short 400 Meter walk on a uneven path but mostly level access to the castle entrance
This is not a good castle for people in wheelchairs or limited mobility
Ideal for rainy days as it is mostly undercover with a few museums to explore
Staff great and very welcoming, nice little gift shop too.
 Guide Dogs only
Toilets in the castle levels
A few places to sit and take a rest with a small café within the grounds
interesting site with plenty of history
Best Bit - views over St Peters Port, Roman finds and video displayed in one of the museums
 
Note that the castle is closed during the winter so check website for more details

If you have a carer, they get in free.

Note:
I never planned to explore this castle, I was tired and thought that it would be like all other
castles on Guernsey / Jersey
WRONG!
It is a brilliant castle, with exceptional views, museums and information.
I am so glad I went in & recommend this castle to all
A MUST SEE!
