Sir Walter Raleigh

Meet Sir Walter at the Castle and he’ll tell you about his adventures at sea

Sir Walter Raleigh has been described as ‘great man of the Elizabethan age’, and ‘Jersey’s most distinguished Governor’, being poet, soldier, historian and explorer, among other things. He was a favourite of Elizabeth I and a ‘peacock’, always in the latest fashion with good looks and obvious charm. Raleigh was also responsible for the preservation of Mont Orgueil Castle from destruction at the time when Elizabeth Castle was being built.

This is your chance to meet Sir Walter in the Lower Ward as he takes you on a tour of the Castle as he recounts his adventures at sea as the most famous explorer of the Elizabethan Age.

Meet Sir Walter Raleigh every Wednesday at Mont Orgueil Castle.
