Jerbourg Point

Jerbourg Point or the Jerbourg Peninsula is the southeastern point of the Bailiwick of Guernsey in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy, lying within St Martin Parish. It marks the end of the east coast cliffs and beginning of the south coast cliffs. It provides scenic views of the Little Russel and many other islands.
==History==
People have lived on this point since Neolithic times and further during the Bronze age and Medieval age. It thus has a long history of habitation and defence system establishment, in the form of mounds and ditches, given its strategic location. Pottery has been found in various parts of Jerbourg Point. Stone instruments, flint knives and arrow-heads, have been discovered in the earthworks, which extend from Bay Portelet on the west to La Bate des Murs near Le Bee du Nez. During medieval times, defence on the point was strengthened to fend off raids from the French.
A bomb-proof and gas-proof bunker was built during World War II by the Germans to control the large gun positions erected in the vicinity.〔 During the war, the Doyle Monument, which existed here, was demolished and was replaced by a smaller version only after the war.〔 The original column erected at this point was in honour of Sir John Doyle, former Governor of the Island, in recognition of his contribution to building a road network and creating other facilities. The point today is home to the Hotel Jerbourg.
