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.

A beautiful beach of soft light sand, which extends across the northern coast of Herm island. The water temperature was still somewhat cold during my visit, but waters are clean and crystal clear. The beach has a gradual incline and reaches about 1.5m depth around 100m out at low tide. Be careful as there is a slight rip current where two waters meet on the eastern part of the beach where there is a sand spit protruding into the sea; it may be unsafe for small children. Overall a great experience

Let Mike show you around his island home. Discover the history and story of Guernsey, take in the views and experience the country lanes that the buses are too big too take you, on your own individual private tour (MAX 4 passengers), with MIKE MAUGER locally born accredited tour guide. The "Standard" tour (approx. 2.5hrs) which covers the south of the island, includes views over St Peter Port, the stunning south coast cliffs and bay along the west coast. You will pass Dolmens (2500BC) Menhirs (1500BC), Napoleonic fortifications, German fortifications, Victor Hugo's house, the Little Chapel and much more. The "full tour" (approx. 3.5hrs) completes the circuit of the island, and allows more time at each stop." My tours are very laid back and you set the pace!" My aim is you leave the with a better understanding of the island's history and culture, present and past, and more importantly, have had an enjoyable and memorable time while in Guernsey.

As the name suggests we are principally Cider Producers. Our range consists of draught cider, 2 different strength bottled ciders and a range of 6 bag-in-box still ciders. We also produce 5 fruit liqueurs, 2 apple chutneys and apple juice. In recent years we have built an off-shoot doing tasting tours for local sports and social clubs and cruise ship passengers visiting the island. We are expanding this side of the business this year to encourage more holidaymakers to come and visit us. The latest addition to our product list is Cider Brandy. We purchased a still last year (2018) and we produced our first batch in January 2019. The maturation process takes 3 years but it will be well worth the wait.
A very enjoyable and entertaining evening with our excellent guide Craig. A very informative tour in a beautiful setting with delicious cider and local cheese at the end of it. We will definitely return with friends and family. I would highly recommend this.

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.

Candie Gardens is a beautiful 19th Century garden in the heart of St Peter Port with spectacular views over the harbour and neighbouring islands. The site also includes a café, a museum and art galleries (Guernsey Museum at Candie)and a research library (the Priaulx Library). Entry to the gardens and library is free, there is a small charge for the museum and art galleries.
We arrived at Guernsey after a terrible trip on mediocre Condor Ferries. As a result of bad weather, our Ferry on Wednesday was cancelled and we could only travel on Thursday without our car as the ferry was packed. We were staying at the excellent Duke of Richmond Hotel and, as it was near the port, decided to walk. It was a good decision as it included a walk through Candie gardens which are a lovely municipal park. The gardens are very well maintained and very interesting with historic greenhouses, and excellent cafe and the Guernsey Museum and Art Gallery

I took a guided kayak tour there. The water was so clear you could see crab pots on the bottom in thirty feet of water. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. And best of all they have baileys coffee in the cafe.

I am always impressed with views from the cliff tops,I have lived here 63 years,and I still take time to look! make sure the conditions are clear, you can see so much from the cliff top.Drive to Jerbourg point, you will end up in a large car park, look for the Germain bunker and the green rails, the rest is for you to discover!

I have spent most of my younger days on this beach, it has many fond memories ! This beach is so much nicer at low tide. My profile photo was taken 2019,in October I will warn you ,it comes with a price to pay,the walk is very steep down from the large car park.The views are amazing, and you wont be disappointed .I would not recommend it for wheel chair users or anyone unsteady on thier feet, it will challenge you.I now go fishing there,but it is still the same unspoiled beach I grow up on.You can check the tides on the local paper or the internet.
