Jersey War Tunnels

Jersey War Tunnels tells the true story of the Occupation of Jersey during World War Two. It is one of the Island’s most popular tourist attractions as well as an important site of heritage conservation and interpretation.

Visit us to walk along the very tunnels which were once trodden by German soldiers; discover what the Occupation was like from the perspective of all those who lived through it; visit the War Trail to see how nature is reclaiming land once used as an artillery battery; sit in the Garden of Reflection and commemorate those islanders killed during the war or relax in the café and shopping area. Jersey War Tunnels has something for everyone.
