The site comprises a series of more than 1,000 metres of concrete-lined underground tunnels built during Germany’s occupation of the Island in World War II, which have been adapted to provide a museum of exhibits telling the story of the occupation.
A visitor centre located at the entrance of the Tunnels, including a gift shop and cafe serving fresh food and drinks (214 covers), welcomes visitors to the attraction.
In the past few years two “Escape Rooms” were opened and are largely geared towards corporate events.
The site benefits from a large car park with additional overflow providing a total of 106 spaces and an on-site public bus stop ensures excellent connectivity.
Further areas of surrounding woodland, predominantly to the southwest of the main site are also included ensuring control of the picturesque surroundings.
Please note that part of the Property is Grade-2 listed.
Location
The Jersey War Tunnels are situated in the heart of the island of Jersey in the parish of St. Lawrence, nestled in a tranquil, rural setting that belies its historical significance.
The War Tunnels are well-connected to the rest of the island, making them accessible to visitors. They are approximately 4 kilometres west and a short drive from St. Helier, the island's capital and largest town, where many of Jersey's amenities and attractions are located, including museums, shopping, and dining options. This proximity to St. Helier allows for easy inclusion of the tunnels in a day's itinerary for tourists exploring the island. Furthermore, the War Tunnels' location in the central part of Jersey means that they are relatively equidistant from most points on the island.
