Jersey War Tunnels marks fourth yearly awards win

The tunnels in St Lawrence were built by slave and forced labour under Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands

Jersey War Tunnels museum has won an award from Trip Advisor for the fourth year running.

The tunnels in St Lawrence were built by slave and forced labour under Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands during World War Two.

They now tell the story of Jersey’s occupation "from resistance, through to starvation, then eventual liberation".

Trip Advisor’s Travellers' Choice Award was based on "consistent positive feedback", said the tunnels' general manager.

Visitors praised the tunnels for their insight into life during World War Two

"Receiving this award for the fourth year in a row is a tremendous honour," said manager Damian Warman.

He said he was "incredibly thankful to all our visitors who have shared their experiences and contributed to this achievement".

One visitor said the museum, with more than 3,300ft (1,000m) of tunnels, was a "very thought provoking, interesting and powerful experience".

"It is certainly unlike other museums, due to the very nature of the buildings," they said.

"The displays gave a real insight into life on Jersey during World War Two."
