A network of tunnels dug by forced labourers during the German occupation of the Channel Islands from 1940 to 1945, intended as a hospital. They now hold an exhibition about life under occupation, the islanders who resisted and those who collaborated.


Allow about two hours. It's in the countryside of St Lawrence parish, with buses from St Helier.
