Travel guide Channel Islands
Holiday on the Channel Islands
The five Channel Islands are located in the English Channel between England and France. In addition to Jersey and Guernsey, there are also the smaller islands of Sark, Herm and Alderney. Even though the Channel Islands are directly under the control of the English crown, they are not part of the United Kingdom. Travelers can look forward to charming harbour towns, beautiful beaches, mighty castles and lush flowers.
TOP excursion destinations on the Channel Islands
The largest Channel Island, Jersey, knows how to impress with its lively capital Saint Helier. The fortress island of Elizabeth Castle can only be reached on foot at low tide, while Mont Orgueil Castle rises majestically above the harbor of Gorey. If you are interested in prehistoric history, La Hougue Bie is the right place for you. The island offers its guests pure bathing pleasure with extensive sandy beaches, blue water and numerous hours of sunshine. It is a wonderful place for hiking and cycling. The Gulf Stream gives the island an incomparable splendor of flowers, which can be admired during a visit to Samarès Manor or Judith Quérée Gardens.
The Channel Island of Guernsey is characterized by steep cliffs, hidden bays and beautiful beaches. A well-developed network of cycle paths and trails delights active vacationers. English and French influences are noticeable in the charming island capital of Saint Peter Port. Elizabeth College, Castle Cornet and Victoria Tower are particularly fascinating here. Along the coast, twelve watchtowers are still a reminder of the Napoleonic Wars, and the Little Chapel is also well worth a visit. The smallest church in the world is decorated with pebbles, shells and pieces of porcelain. What a beautiful sight!
The Channel Islands of Alderney, Herm and Sark are tranquil. There aren’t even any cars on Herm and Sark. Here, picturesque sandy beaches alternate with dunes and steep cliffs. Always in view: the blue of the Atlantic.
Entry requirements
