Fort Grey (W.N Grauer Turm)

Locally known as "the cup and saucer" this Martello tower was built in 1804 and would have fired a warning gun to announce any French invasion. It was named after Charles Grey, the Governor of Guernsey at the time it was built. During WW2 it was occupied by the Germans and named Widerstandsnest Graur Turm (Resistance nest Gray Tower) armed with a 3.7cm Pak 36 anti-tank gun and machine guns.
It is now home to a local shipwreck museum.
