Jersey has the most fabulous history, layer upon layer going back not only hundreds of years , but also thousands of years, and to tell the stories of this colourful and interesting past, Jersey Military Tours brings a different product to the leisure and travel industry in Jersey to cater for clients interested in the Island's military history. Jersey's history, and indeed its character and status, has for the last 800 years been dominated by a military past after it found itself on the front line of a warring England and France (and in the 20th century, Britain and Nazi Germany). For most of that period, Jersey and the other Channel Islands were home to a British garrison and not only were the islands heavily fortified, but they also developed their own independence, laws, privileges and customs to make them what they are today. In addition, there are bronze age and iron age defensive promontory forts dating back 3000 years or more and of course, the concrete reminders that the Channel Islands were the only British territories in Europe occupied by Nazi Germany in WW2. You cannot go anywhere around the islands today without seeing evidence of that military past layer upon layer. Our aim is to visit military sites around the Island, whether they be fortifications or battle sites, and with the use of modern digital media and some good fashioned props, provide an entertaining and informative experience. Whether you are an individual visitor or local wanting to find out more, a corporate or conference group who wants a customised tour to suit your interests and timing, Jersey Military Tours can provide a tour for you. New for 2017, Jersey Military Tours will start tours to the French and Belgian battlefields of WW1 and WW2 for Channel Island clients. Those clients will be able to start their tour from home and be guided for the whole journey to explore family connections with or who have an interest in the wars which dominated the 20th century.
