Channel Islands Guide
The Channel Islands; Jersey, Guernsey,
Alderney, Sark, Herm and the smaller
islands of Jethou, Brecqhou and Lihou,
are all beautiful islands of the
northern coast of France, near Normandy.
Almost completely separate from the UK
and France, the Channel Islands are
incredibly unique and full of culture
and independence. Jersey, the largest of
the islands, has the most hours of
sunshine per year and long, sandy
beaches whilst Guernsey, the second
largest, is highlighted by the Haut Pas,
a high plateau that overlooks the whole
of the island.
From skydiving to jet skiing, the
Channel Islands has it all whether
you're looking for a adrenalin-pumping
adventure or relaxing day on the beach.
Travel on the Channel Islands
Although the Jersey and Guernsey
railways closed almost 70 years ago,
there are still buses and planes that
will take you from A to B. However, if
you want to do a bit of island-hopping,
then jump on one of the ferries that
travel between the main islands of
Jersey and Guernsey and the French port
of St. Malo.

Things
to See
In Jersey, take a trip around the
capital St.Helier where the mix of high
street major stores, small, independent
shops and no VAT make this town a
shopping haven. For a real taste of the
islands, go take in the sights (and
smells) of the local fish markets and
dine in one of the many authentic
restaurants around the town.
For the less active, in Guernsey see Le
Petit Pré, a gorgeous bird sanctuary
with beautiful surrounding meadows or
Castle Cornet, a stunning fortress that
has been on the island for almost 800
years! The beauty of the Channel Island
does not end with the larger island of
Jersey and Guernsey; explore the Channel
Islands' hidden treasures, Alderney,
Herm and Sark.
The smaller islands are incredibly
beautiful, with many undiscovered,
unspoilt beaches and places where you
feel as if you are the only one on the
island. All are so easy to get to by
boat and while you're out there, why not
catch your dinner? Take a trip out and
catch a sea bass or two for a delicious
meal. |
