The notice at Les Landes reads:<center>-------<br />
<br />
States <br />
of Jersey <br />
<br />
<u>Les Landes <br />
Site of special Interest</u> <br />
<br />
This Heathland has been designated as a Site of special interest under Article 9 of the States of Jersey (Planning) Law 1967 (As amended) to protect and preserve its outstanding natural beauty, wildlife and its geological and archaeological heritage <br />
To ensure that this sensitive area is conserved for the future, please respect the wildlife and observe the following; <br />
For your own safety. please beware of sudden drops, quarries, cliff edges, bunker entrances <br />
Please keep to the footpaths<br />
Considerate pedestrians only<br />
No Bicycles <br />
No horses except on designated Bridal Paths <br />
No motor vehicles <br />
Do ensure that all dog faeces are removed to the bins provided <br />
Do not disturb, pick, uproot, remove or in any way harm the plants and animals<br />
Fire risk - Lighting of fires including BBQ's is forbidden<br />
Please take all your rubbish home and leave the area as you found it so that others may also enjoy their visit<br />
<br />
-------</center><br />
I particularly like the phrase "Considerate pedestrians only" but am disappointed by the unnecessary apostrophe in BBQs and the mis-spelling horror of bridal for bridle.<br />

The lighthouse at La Corbière was lit on 24 April, 1874, for the first time, and was the first lighthouse in the British Isles to be built of concrete. The lighthouse was built to designs by Sir John Coode. The lighthouse tower is 19m (62ft) high and the lamp stands 36m (119ft) above high water spring tides. The beam has a reach of 18 nautical miles, and was automated in 1976. It is situated on a rock which is a tidal island. A causeway links the lighthouse to shore at low tide. There is an alarm to warn visitors to clear the causeway as the tide rises.<br />

Grosnez Castle is thought to have been built in the 13th or 14th centuries. The castle is a ruin, but stands boldly on guard against the French terror that used to raid and pillage the Isle of Jersey hundreds of years ago (last attack 1781). It is said that many of the farm walls and field boundaries close by include some of the castle's stones.<br />

In the Royal Square stands the gilded statue of King George II. It was erected in 1751, in what had been for many years the Market Square. The Square was renamed Royal Square in honour of the King (and the statue) and in gratitude for his contribution towards building the harbour.<br />

A statue of Queen Victoria formerly stood in the centre of a circular garden in the middle of the Weighbridge bus station. In 1976 the statue was moved to the Triangle Park alongside the Grand Hotel at West Park. The park was officially renamed Victoria Park but islanders have steadfastly remained true to the original name of this triangular area of grass. The statue stands 7 feet high on a plinth of La Moye granite which is carved with the Queen's monogram surrounded by a crown. The inscription "Erigé par le peuple" (erected by the people) is at the base and the two sides bear the dates 1837 and 1887 to signify Victoria's Golden Jubilee.<br />

The lighthouse at La Corbière was lit on 24 April, 1874, for the first time, and was the first lighthouse in the British Isles to be built of concrete. The lighthouse was built to designs by Sir John Coode. The lighthouse tower is 19m (62ft) high and the lamp stands 36m (119ft) above high water spring tides. The beam has a reach of 18 nautical miles, and was automated in 1976. It is situated on a rock which is a tidal island. A causeway links the lighthouse to shore at low tide. There is an alarm to warn visitors to clear the causeway as the tide rises.<br />
