This is a large castle area with an interesting and unique history spanning multiple wars. For me the highlight was definitely the canon & musket firing demonstrations & the entertaining talks about these. I feel much more confident in firing a canon & musket without injuring myself! The importance of firepower is still relevant today as the world continues its conflicts.

I just went to the coast to see the options..., and in 10 minutes I was on this 'waterbus'. This transport was not only convenient but also unique! It took about 10-20 mins to get to the castle(s), and about 1-2 hours there. All in the afternoon, beautiful weather and lights, sunshine, sea... It was hard to imagine that there was war, times ago. The walls are full of hundreds of years history. There were almost no visitors this time, so sometimes I could just walk around or sit alone, listening to the nature... Sometimes it was like a treasure hunt adventure, with the freedom to explore any part of the island. That made this even more interesting, since it was up to us, how much and what we'll have as takeaways, and all in a relaxed mood! The small museums are also great, people really do a lot to keep up and develop the place! I recommend this visit to everyone! Note: I bought souveniers, which I don't do too frequently. But when I do, then those are good quality and/or the activity was stunning. Yes, it was this time!

Such a great visit! From the amphibious vehicle across the bay to the history of the site. There is a lot to see on in the Castle, we had booked onto a tour however when we arrived we just walked about on our own to experience the site. If you are unsteady on your feet you might struggle, there are a lot of steps and it's uneven but it's history!! I personally think, the best part of the visit was finding a hidden seating area by the café (middle of the island). There is a sign on the left hand-side, go upstairs and there is a little garden. It made us feel like we were the only people on the island, and lots of sparrows came to visit us. Very enjoyable!

Elizabeth Castle is a fascinating castle and it's well worth a visit. You can get across to it on buses that go in the water. Great for wandering about and learning the history of the castle. Prices are good. A must do whilst staying in Jersey.

We visited a couple of times, the first time we were able to walk along the causeway which is a lovely walk. No tours or anything were available when we first visited, I think due to staff shortage, but on our second visit we enjoyed a guided tour around the Castle, a "gunner" who was dressed in costume and demonstrating a musket and talking all about how one is used etc. Elizabeth Castle and The Hermitage are steeped in history. On our second trip it was high tide and we used the Amphibious vehicle. There's a small shop, toilets and a cafe.

We had a very enjoyable visit to the castle. It was pleasant weather so we enjoyed the walk both ways across the causeway. The castle is steeped in history and thank you to volunteer guide Susan for her interesting and informative tour. And thank you to the Sergeant (Chris) for his entertaining demos on how to load and fire a cannon and a musket. We spent about two hours there - including a cafe stop. There is a beautiful little cafe garden to sit in up some steps but we only discovered it by accident at the end. Wonderful views.

We stayed in the Grand Hotel and watched the bus boat drive across the sand and into the water to get to the Castle. We HAD to do it. The castle was ok, but what really made the day was King Charles 1st (or maybe 2nd). He was hilarious. He had us in stitches for over an hour lording it about telling us about his life, all factually correct but so amusing. We then got treated to the same actor being a soldier for another hour, showing us how to use the musket and canon. Again, taking the mick out of us, rolling his eyes and involving us all. We discovered after the actor was Michelle Hervieu. Thank you Michelle, you were brilliant and really made our day.

Beautiful place. Trip out by amphibians craft lovely. Not great for people like us with aches and pains. Worth the visit

We had a fantastic visit to Elizabeth Castle and took one of the amphibious boats (Betty) to the Castle. There was lots to walk around and great views. We especially enjoyed the walk along the pier break at the end of the castle. Toilets were excellent with three blocks. The cafe was nice and I enjoyed my tea! It's worth looking at the various membership or ticket options before visiting as this can save money if visiting multiple sites. NB. It's worth checking the tide times as the boats appeared to start later in high tide. Might be worth checking with the ticket office in advance.

Excellent Castle, Jane was our guide full of fascinating facts and insight into the castle. The weather was great so explored everywhere and had some great views from the tower. It does involve quite a lot of walking and climbing stairs so allow plenty of time to fully appreciate everything. If you are less mobile you don’t have to do all the steps to still get a good look round. It really made you realise how it was during WW2 and it’s quite important for that to be remaining. A castle very steeped in history of centuries which was quite a surprise. I went over by ferry and back on foot well worth the walk at low tide if you can.

Just came on to say that the pricing system Jersey Heritage have in place is at best sneaky, at worst misselling. If like us you intend on doing both Elizabeth Castle and Mont Orgueil, then the cheapest way to do this is to join Jersey Heritage for a year. At least it works out that way if you are a family of four. This is cheaper than buying separate entry to both castles AND - crucially - it is significantly cheaper than the “4 sites for the price of 3” visitor ticket they are promoting! Do your sums and don’t buy the 4 for 3; go for a year’s membership. Doesn’t limit you to 4 attractions (the Jersey museum in St Helier is free anyway…), means you can revisit an attraction during your stay if you are so minded, and you also get 10% off in the on-site cafes. You can join on the day at the entry gate for the main attractions, you don’t need proof of address, or photo ID - you don’t even need to give bank account / credit card details for a recurring payment. 4 for the price of 3 is a rip-off and I’m surprised they are allowed to sell it / promote it in the way they do as it is not the cheapest way to purchase tickets.

Really interesting castle to visit. The access via the bus/boat is a fun addition to the day, I recommend getting on it when you will experience the change from land travel to boat travel so when tide of fairly high. The walk around the castle is steep in parts and uneven but manageable. Stunning views as you walk around.

We were very disappointed. There was very little in terms of exhibits & just a few information boards, no interactive displays or guides around and empty rooms. It has the potential to be very good, with some beautiful buildings that could be used for displays etc but I now realise that there are major maintenance works underway, so it definitely wasn’t worth visiting for us at the moment and not worth the money we paid. Maybe your experience depends on what day you visit and if they have more activities.

Situated to the west of St. Helier along the promenade, quite a walk from the town centre marine area, a good five minutes or so. The castle is cut-off from the main land at high tide although there is a tractor across at high tide, at low tide you can walk across on the causeway or use the tractor, we did the latter both ways. The castle has quite a large area to look over and NOT all is accessible to disabled people with walking difficulties. Allow at least two hours to see everything.

We loved the Castle it was very interesting and full of history, the view was Beautiful, the story about where St Helier got its name was interesting as well. We also had a steak pie in the little cafe, highly recommend, loads of steak pieces in it.
