A British crown dependency, the sunny (well, relatively speaking) island of Guernsey boasts mild winters and warm summer months. From coasteering to kayaking, windsurfing to foodie foraging, outdoor enthusiasts of all types will love to roam this gorgeous Channel Island. A great base for fishing and angling trips, Guernsey also has plenty to see and do on the mainland. Explore Neolithic sites, stoic Castle Cornet, and ancient burial sites like Le Creux es Faies, a tomb that was once believed to be the gateway to a magical fairyland.

Castle Cornet

An 800 year old castle that boasts incredible views of the whole East coast of Guernsey and across to the other islands of Herm, Sark and Alderney. Steeped in history that includes the English civil war and the German Occupation of the castle and islands during the second world war. There are four museums on military history, the RAF and the story of the castle and a new maritime museum hoping to be unveiled later in 2021. The grounds and gardens benefit from a full-time castle keeper tending the historic gardens and keeping it looking beautiful. The daily noon-day gun firing of a 32 pound cannon by a gunner in traditional 19th century uniform is the highlight of any visit and can be accompanied by a castle tour in the morning, tea in the cafe and relaxing in the sunshine!

Castle cornet has a fascinating history, great for kids for look around and for adults also, Remember to be there fro the noon day gun firing, 3 museums in one, local Militia, castle history, and the 201 squadron, long walk to it though.

The Little Chapel

Reviewed By Scarlatina - Illinois, United States

A definite sight to see! Absolutely gorgeous and incredibly neat. There's also a gift shop and restrooms available and the bus stop is right out front! Perfect to combine with the Rocquette Cider tour and a visit to the German Underground Hospital, as they are all within walking distance.

Town Church St Peter Port

Reviewed By Rossergruffydd - Glasgow, United Kingdom

The doors were still open after 5pm and you enter into a spacious and well lit area with a section set aside for quiet prayer and contemplation. A cheap guide leaflet gives you a tour with an unusually large number of commemorative plaques on the walls celebrating the many achievements of the Guernsey folk with names that echo in the street names of the town. A rather good little shop selling higher grade items which you are trusted to pay for.
