Kempt Tower, Martello tower in Saint Ouen, Jersey
Located in the Jersey National Park, this granite fortification stands prominently at the edge of Saint Ouen's Bay, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Built in 1834 during heightened tensions between Britain and France, the tower was designed to mount three powerful 24-pounder guns for coastal defense.
Named after Sir James Kempt, a general who fought at Waterloo, this military structure represents Jersey's strategic importance in British coastal defense systems.
The tower now functions as rental accommodation for up to 12 guests, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, lounge area, and modern amenities.
The roof terrace provides unobstructed 360-degree views across Saint Ouen's Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the surrounding Jersey National Park landscape.
