Discover Hamptonne Country Life Museum
Step back in time to rural Jersey at Hamptonne Country Life Museum, a traditional 15th-century house and farm.
The main buildings are named after past owners – the Langlois, Hamptonne and Syvret families – who lived at Hamptonne between the 15th and 19th centuries. You can explore the different farmhouses and learn about  Jersey’s cider-making history in the cider barn, or ‘
pressoir
’, an industry that forms an intrinsic part of Jersey history, having once shaped the landscape, culture and economy of the Island.
Read more about the history
of cider making in Jersey.
Walk around the cider apple orchard where you’ll learn about the different apple varieties that make Jersey cider the best of its kind.  Feed our resident chickens (food available to purchase) – and there is a children’s play area on the grounds too. The Hamptonne Country Café is open daily, serving warming drinks and snacks.

Learn the History of Hamptonne
Nestled at the head of a valley in St Lawrence, Hamptonne – with its numerous granite buildings –  provides a story of Jersey rural life across the centuries. Its very location typifies a trend of building farms where there would be not only a ready source of water, but also shelter both from the coastal elements and raiders from France.
Dating from the 17th century with over 100 vergées, was considered a fairly large farm and reflected the ethos of self-sufficiency and mixed farming prevalent across the Island.
