About La Hougue Bie

One of Europe's finest passage graves set in beautiful surroundings, where you can learn about life in Jersey's Neolithic community 6,000 years ago. A medieval chapel sits on top of this prehistoric mound and dolmen dominating this tranquil and spiritual site. Unlike many other dolmens you can actually stand inside the chamber of the passage grave and discover the heart of this place of worship.

Ancient treasures are waiting to be found in the geology and archaeology museum on site, including coin hoards, axes, swords and spears. Also on site is a command bunker built during the German Occupation houses a unique memorial to the slave-workers in the Channel Islands during the Second World War.

La Hougue Bie has a large picnic area where you can enjoy a day out amongst the beautiful and peaceful surroundings.
