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

I recently visited Guernsey for a number of reasons, one being to visit Ben in his new shop. And if you like chocolate, this is the place to go. We sampled a few including a bronze winning malt whisky and lapsang souchong truffle. Ben has a passion for flavours and this shines through in award winning Mojito chocolate which won a World Silver ~ probably the nicest chocolate I have tried ~ . Well worth a visit and does mail order too.

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.

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
