Guernsey destination guide
The Bailiwick of Guernsey lies off the coast of northern France. One of a group of islands, including Jersey, Alderney, Sark and Herm, known collectively as the Channel Islands. Although the islands have strong ties to the UK, they are not goverened by the UK, nor are the islands part of the European Union. Guernsey has a population of around 65,000 people. With a high level of sunshine, it is extremely popular with tourists.
One of the main advantages to visiting Guernsey is the chance to purchase duty free goods whilst travelling to and from the island. However, you should bear in mind that, because the island is not part of the EU, there are limits to the amount that you may bring back to the UK.
There are plentiful hotels on the island, and with cheap shopping, and great restaurants and bars you can see why tourism flourishes here. The large majority of these can be found in St Peter Port, the main town on the island. There are a great number of restaurants serving local dishes, and seafood is a great speciality on the island.
The island offers ample opportunity to enjoy yourself, with diving, sailing, cycling and angling. The island's west coast offers excellent surfing conditions and is a favourite spot with windsurfers.
There are many places to see and visit on the island. Following the German occupation of the islands during the war, there are numerous sites to visit including fortifications and underground military bases. Victor Hugo was a resident on the island, being exiled 
from France for 14 years. Whilst there he wrote many works, including Les Miserables. You can visit the exquisitely decorated house that he lived in during this time. There is also the little chapel that was built in the style of chapels at Lourdes. The chapel is higly decorated with pebbles, shells and colourful pieces of pottery.
Driving around the island is easy. The busy roads of the mainland are not reproduced here, and if you do fancy a day away from your car, there are regular bus services that operate around the island. They are routed to pass most of the visitor attractions, and are reasonably priced.
You may also wish to visit the other smaller islands. There are regular air and ferry services to Herm, Sark and Alderney. If you travel to Sark, then walking and cycling is a must. No cars are allowed on the island, and the island enjoys a reputation of tranquility as a result.
For such a small island, Jersey really has much to offer. Why not find out for yourself?
