Excursion Castle cornet and town walk tour at Saint Peter Port

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Discover the charm and history of St. Peter Port, including the iconic, ancient Castle Cornet on this half-day exploration.

Join your local guide on a guided walk to the centre of the town of St Peter Port, which has a fascinating history. A busy port since Roman times, the deep, safe anchorage and relative remoteness from France has made the town the Channel Islands' premier port.

From the harbor, with its forest of masts and bustling Fish Quay, see Castle Cornet, originally built on an island and now reachable by a raised walkway built in the 19th Century. See and hear the key highlights of the Castle with your guide before spending some time in the "Story of Castle Cornet" exhibition or exploring the castle and perhaps some of their four small gardens within the castle walls.

Enjoy refreshments at the Castle Café before returning back to the pier.  

Note

Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking, at least 2.5 km (1.5 mile). Because of the distance, the steps and substantial uneven terrain, this tour is not suitable for wheelchairs, walkers or scooters and is not recommended for guests with otherwise limited mobility. Guests are recommended to bring camera and sunglasses and to wear suitable walking shoes. Dress according to the weather in layers, with a light waterproof jacket often useful for this island's changeable weather.
