Guernsey Walks - Extract from The Channel Islands Way

Portelet Slipway, Pleinmont

Continue on along the coast road, passing the Imperial Hotel, as we make our way towards Fort Grey, or the Cup and Saucer as it is known. For the next mile or two we shall be walking at the side of a busy road, so be careful and make sure you can be seen.

We soon pass Fort Grey Shipwreck Museum. After the rugged cliffs of the south coast, the rest of our journey around Guernsey is delightfully flat.

1. Fort Grey

Here is a Napoleonic fortification built on the site of an earlier defence. How long the previous fortification, Le Chateau de Rocquaine, stood here is uncertain. The earliest record that we have is a survey undertaken in May 1680 by the Lieutenant Governor, Colonel George Legge, which mentions the fort. The soldier who inspected it, Captain Richard Leake, Master Gunner of England, said that Rocquaine Castle had: "An iron saker, this should be augmented with three 12 pounders. The fishermen say that many vessels shelter here in fowle weather".

In 1803, the Commanding Officer of the Royal Engineers, Lieutenant Colonel Mackelcan, said that the old fort should be demolished and a new defensive position built. And indeed it was: a semi circular battery was built capable of housing 12 to 14 guns. In 1804 a Martello tower was built in the centre of the redoubt and in 1809 another powder magazine was built, this time within the walls.

Today, Fort Grey is a museum dedicated to the many ships that have been lost on Guernsey's rocky coastline. Inside there are artefacts and information ranging from the wreck of HMS Sprightly that hit the Hanois reef in 1777, to the grounding of the Vermontborg on the La Capelle reef in 2003.

In common with most shallow sandy beaches around all the Channel Islands, we find a proliferation of Napoleonic and Second World War defences peppering this side of the island. Walk on and enjoy the far reaching views across Rocquaine Bay to the island of Lihou.
