https://www.jerseyheritage.org/visit/places-to-visit/elizabeth-castle/

The castle is located on a tidal island within the parish of Saint Helier, Jersey. You are able to reach the castle by walking along the causeway or by taking the amphibious Castle Ferry. The castle is a 15-acre fortress that gave refuge to King Charles II during the English Civil War. It also has many historical aspects dating from; including the English Civil War, the German Occupation in World War 11. The other past of the site is, The Hermitage, where Saint Helier is thought to have lived around 550 A.D.

The spot where Elizabeth Castle is located, the Upper Ward or Mount, was a religious priory from 1155 until the late 16th century. The Islet, as it is known, is half a mile out to sea and is connected to mainland Jersey at low tide by a causeway. So, for seven out of every 12 hours it can only be reached by boat.

TOURIST ATTRACTION ELIZABETH CASTLE:

Elizabeth Castle is now managed by Jersey Heritage as an act to the public service, including as a tourist attraction. At Elizabeth Castle, as well as exploring the site and its history, you can see regular musketry demonstrations and on some weekends there are live recreations of the garrison of 1781 – the time of the battle of Jersey – when historical Interpreters give displays of musket and cannon firing and civilian life.

SYNOPSIS:

The short film we will be producing at Elizabeth Castle will be about the post historic events and the tourist attractions. The short film will include pictures of the main historic parts such as the; canons, the structure of the castle, and the main outside area (the layout). This short film is to show the evolution of the castle and how it once gave refuge to King Charles II and has now become open to the public and marked as one of the most historic elements on the island.
