ADD TO LIST
Located in the bay of St Malo in the English Channel, Guernsey is closer to France than the United Kingdom, but its loyalties lie with to the British Crown. This was where Victor Hugo made his home after being exiled from France. Once part of the French mainland, rising tides cut isolated Guernsey from the rest of the mainland at the end of the Ice Age. Evidence of the Neolithic man abound on the island, including defensive earth works, and burial chambers such as Les Fouillages, possibly one of the oldest manmade structures in Europe. St Peter Port, the capital on the island is a lively port with great choices of pubs and bars, as well as excellent dining options. Low duty free products make it a good shopping destination and the traditional Guernsey jumper is a popular souvenir. The island offers a lot of good guided walks and cycling.

Travel Tips from people who've been to Guernsey
0124Herm ist eine wunderschöne kleine Insel im Ärmelkanal. Sie ist nur per Boot von Guernsey aus erreichbar, auf Guernsey hat es einen Flughafen.Herm ist winzig klein, in drei Stunden kann man rund um die Insel wandern, aber trotzdem hat es alles, was es braucht, um entspannte Ferien machen zu können: ein Hotel mit zwei sehr guten Restaurants, eine Traverne, wo es spannend ist, mit den Einheimischen in Kontakt zu kommen, einen kleinen Lebensmittelladen, wunderschöne Sandstrände und herrliche Klippen.Ausser dem Hotel gibt es auch einen Campingplatz, aber ich empfehle, eine der herzigen Ferienwohnungen zu mieten. Wer auf Entdeckungsreise gehen will, kann bequem als Tagesausflug eine der Nachbarinseln Guernsey oder Sark besuchen

002Beautiful beaches and cliff paths that's what Herm is all about. It's one of the Channel Islands just 1 hour flight from gatwick, or 15 min by boat from Guernsey. Accommodation at White House Hotel, self catering or campsite. Food in Mermaid Tavern and Restaurant, White House Restaurant or from beach cafe. You can buy all equipment You want, at a good price in a large gift shop, so there is no need of taking huge luggage with You. Wonderful for a Day Trip.
