Walk in the Park: Jersey’s Forgotten Gateway

Marc Yates from History Alive, reveals why Rozel was once one of Jersey’s most important gateways, shaped by sea, settlement and shifting power.

More Information

Rozel may look like a quiet fishing harbour today, but for thousands of years its importance was more than suggested by its present appearance.

Marc reveals how geology, rising seas and early settlement are written into this corner of Jersey. Home to the Neolithic farmers who cleared woods to create fields around 6000 years ago, then to an Iron Age community that fortified Le Câtel de Rozel, it became the preferred landing place of the Dukes of Normandy.

By the 19th century, Rozel was bustling again, with soldiers, there to defend this gateway from French attack.
