Travel Guide
The Insight Guide to Guernsey:
From the Insight website:
“Guernsey may be the most densely populated of the Channel Islands but it retains quaint rural lanes, fine sandy beaches and miles of spectacular cliffs in the south. The island has one of the largest tidal movements in the world, with waters retreating twice a day to reveal large expanses of golden sands and lunar-like seascapes, pierced with rocks and reefs.”
“Along with traditional beach pursuits such as swimming, windsurfing and rock-pooling, there has been a growth in adrenalin-fuelled activities such as sunset abseiling, cliff face rock-climbing or coasteering explorations. In an effort to draw more tourists, Guernsey has been attempting to change its traditional image as a somewhat sedate, sleepy backwater, best known for offshore finance and Guernsey cream teas. ”
“In the unlikely event you tire of the coast, Guernsey has monuments ranging from eerie Neolithic tombs to Napoleonic towers and World War II bunkers and tunnels − potent reminders that the Channel Islands were the only the parts of the British Isles occupied by German forces.”
“The south of the island offers 28 miles (45km) of cliff-top walks; and the network of Green Lanes, where traffic is restricted to 15mph (24kmh), was developed with walkers and cyclists in mind. Even on main roads the pace is slow, with a maximum speed limit of 35mph (56kmh).”
Guernsey is well placed for boat trips to the satellite islands, Herm and Sark. The more remote Alderney is more easily reached by plane. These delightful specs in the sea offer wonderful peaceful walks and time-warp charm
