L’Étacquerel Fort

A little bit more about this place

L’Étacquerel Fort is a mid-19th century fortification, built over two levels on an isolated promontory on the north coast. L’Etacquerel was built in the mid 18th century to defend the eastern flank of Bouley Bay. Recently renovated as part of a Jersey government funded project to open historic buildings for public uses, the fort’s isolated location on the Island’s north coast makes it an ideal location for a family barbecue or picnic, a corporate function or as a base for youth organisations, leisure pursuits and activities such as kayaking or walking. It is perfectly situated for exploring Jersey’s northeast tip and countryside, and is within comfortable off-road walking distance of Bouley Bay and Rozel Harbour.
