Fort Ile de Raz is a fort on the small Ile de Raz, an islet off the coast of Alderney. The fort itself protects Longis Beach, a harbour on the island, Essex Castle, which served as a military hospital, and the site of the Nunnery, the first fortification on the island, left by the Romans.
Fort Ile de Raz is named after the Race, the straight between Alderney and France. It served as a bird museum and is currently under renovation.[1]
