Fort Leicester

A napoleonic era fort next to the harbour at Bouley Bay, Fort Leicester has now been transformed into a holiday let by Jersey Heritage, accommodating up to eight people at a time.

The work was undertaken following the production of a conservation statement for the Fort, commissioned by Jersey Heritage in 2005
