16.08.2022 It wasn't open when I visited but it is possible to explore the outside of the fort.There is part of the fort,the German part that someone has converted into something very similar to the Little Chapel and the room is full of decorative seashells.It is open for one day every two weeks.I visited that on a previous visit to Guernsey and it was well worth the visit.Fort Hommet itself? I couldn't see any other part of it that was open.Hope you like the photos.They were taken on a very hot day.20.08.2022 The chapel of the sacred heart and the casemate was open today.I have written reviews if you wish to see them.Both are under casemate reviews.Its a longshot but if anyone is reading this in August 2002 a bunker attached to Fort Hommet is open on the 27.08 for the first time in over 30 years.Sadly my flight home is on that day.Hope you have a great time...
