The fort's main features are substantial curtain walls, ditches, a glacis, redoubts, bastions, and redans (or demi-bastions). A parade ground was in the centre, which is now built upon, and covered with a roof.

Il domine toute la ville ainsi que la baie de Saint-Aubin sur la côte Sud de Jersey. Le fort Regent est une construction assez moderne. Il fut édifié entre 1806 et 1814. Le fort a été jugé nécessaire parce que les anciennes forteresses, le château de Mont-Orgueil et le château Elizabeth n'étaient plus suffisantes pour défendre l'île contre l'invasion possible des troupes de l'armée napoléonienne. Le fort a été conçu par John Humfrey. Le 24 avril 1814, le fort fut inauguré et nommé en l'honneur du régent d'Angleterre, le futur roi George IV du Royaume-Uni. Quand la construction du fort fut achevée, il n'était déjà plus nécessaire, parce que la menace française avait déjà disparu. L'armée (fr) Fort Regent is een fort in Saint Helier op Jersey.
