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.
