Fort Grey is a historic coastal defense structure located in Saint Peter Port, Guernsey. Known locally as the "Cup and Saucer" due to its distinctive shape, the fort was constructed in 1804 during the Napoleonic Wars to protect the island from potential French invasion. Built on a small rocky islet connected to the mainland by a causeway, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding sea. Today, Fort Grey houses a maritime museum that showcases Guernsey's rich nautical history, including shipwrecks and maritime artifacts.
