Fort George, Guernsey, Military fortress in Saint Peter Port, Guernsey.
Fort George extends across an elevated position from Val Des Terres to the cliffs overlooking Havelet Bay, featuring stone fortifications and bastions.
Construction of the fort began in 1780 during the Anglo-French War and finished in 1812, serving as the main British Army garrison on the island.
The fort grounds include a military cemetery containing graves from both World Wars, preserving the memory of soldiers who served in Guernsey.
Public access to Fort George remains through the main gate and coastal paths, allowing visitors to explore parts of the military structures.
German forces renamed the fort to Stützpunkt Georgefest during World War II and installed radar stations that survived Allied bombing attempts.
