Bailiwick of Guernsey (: Guernesey, Guernesiais: Guernési, Sercquiais: Gyernëzi) is a group of islands in the English Channel, part of the . Guernsey is the main island, some 50 miles west of the Cotentin Peninsula in France. It's about 6 miles long by 3 miles wide, with St Peter Port as its chief settlement, and in 2019 had a population of almost 63,000. This page only describes the main island of Guernsey, with , and described on separate pages. ## Understand In 1066 William Duke of Normandy gained the crown of England, so his descendants ruled many parts of France as well as ruling England. A series of wars, and peace treaties followed by more wars, wrested European territory away from England to the growing Kingdom of France, until all that remained were the Channel Islands. And so they remain today. The Bailiwick of Guernsey, like that of Jersey, is therefore a "Crown Dependency". They are not subject to the UK parliament or legislation or - crucially - taxation in any way, and were never part of the EU, but they cede control of defence and most international affairs to the UK. The rules of this arrangement are unwritten and all parties have shied away from testing them. Although Guernsey and Jersey share many similarities, they are as constitutionally separate from each other as they are from mainland Britain, and there is no political entity called the "Channel Islands". Guernsey grew up as a fishing port but from 1700 found that smuggling paid better, as mainland taxes rose sharply. Even more lucrative was piracy (illegal) and privateering (much the same thing, but legal if it was against the King's enemies). The islands were occasionally fought over (for instance during the English Civil Wars), but more often they were heavily fortified against invasions that never came. One such phase was during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, another was during the German occupation of the Second World War. So as they weren't attacked, the fortifications remain in good condition, and provide some of the main sights on Guernsey. Post-war development was faltering: light industry, tomatoes and horticulture (undercut by the Dutch), and offshore finance (risky even when legitimate). Mass tourism never started, and so Guernsey has concentrated on high-end tourism. Come here and feel like a swell. Visitor information [Visit Guernsey](https://www.visitguernsey.com/) website ## Islands Guernsey island is the main island, with St Peter Port the capital of the Bailiwick, largest town, and traditional point of arrival. The built-up area straggles north to St Sampson and south to St Martin, and less densely west across the whole island. There's not much open countryside on Guernsey, but it's an attractive bucolic landscape. Lihou is a tidal island with a ruined priory, reached by a causeway from Guernsey. is ringed with Victorian forts, and has a lot of accessible open countryside. Burhou, a tiny island off Alderney, is a bird sanctuary. Les Casquets are uninhabited rocky islets west of Alderney with a lighthouse. is the last feudal society in Europe, which means no traffic. Its main area of Grande Sark is linked by a precipitous walkway to Little Sark. Brecquou, 100 yards west of Sark, is privately owned by the Barclay twins, the media tycoons, and you can't visit. is a small, charming island close to Guernsey. Jethou, a tiny island close to Herm, is privately owned and you can't visit. ## Talk Overwhelmingly English is spoken, but Norman-French Guernésiais is taught in schools in a bid to preserve it. ## Get in Entry regulations are the same as for Jersey, see . See , and for routes to those islands. Unless you have your own boat, Herm is always reached via Guernsey. Reaching Alderney and Sark is usually so but they do have some connections to Jersey and the UK and French mainlands.

The UK is not the mainland of Guernsey. ## Stay safe The main hazards are natural, e.g. slippy rocks. Crime is uncommon but take usual care of your belongings and avoid the occasional idiot drunk. You must have personal travel health insurance: the Bailiwick of Guernsey has no reciprocal agreements with the UK National Health Service, EU "EHIC" system, or any other nation. Medical treatment on any of these islands must therefore be paid in full. ## Connect The dialling code for Guernsey is +44, same as for mainland Britain and Jersey, so to call between them you don't dial +44. It's as if Guernsey were a mainland city with dialling code 01481 and UK domestic call charges. Except for a very few dead spots, all of Guernsey island has 4G from each of its three carriers: Airtel-Vodafone, JT and Sure, and there is Wifi in many public places. As of Sep 2024, 5G has not rolled out on Guernsey. For the latest detailed coverage see [GCRA](https://www.gcra.gg/business-resources/telecoms/4g-mobile-network-performance/guernsey/), as Nperf doesn't track coverage in the Channel Islands. Visitors from UK or Europe need to check their mobile provider for roaming charges. ## Go next Ferries to , and sail from St Peter Port. : the ferry lands you in St Helier, where the castle is on a tidal islet. on the French mainland is a walled citadel, with museums and a chateau. on the English mainland is modern but has the historic dockyards, with Mary Rose and HMS Victory.

Its main area of Grande Sark is linked by a precipitous walkway to Little Sark. ### Herm is a small, charming island close to Guernsey. Local reading and routes ### [Alderney Museum](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Alderney#See) This small volunteer-run museum is in the old school house. It gives a good overview of island history and life. ### [Fort Clonque](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Alderney#See) is the best preserved of the many forts and bastions dotted around the coast. Built in the 19th century, it's on a tidal island on the west coast, though the causeway is only covered by the highest tides. Admire the setting and exterior, but you can't go in, as it's now self-catering accommodation (sleeps 13) run by the island's Landmark Trust. ### [Fort Houmet Herbé](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Alderney#See) is on a little island off the east coast. Even the Germans couldn't think of a military use for this one, so the Victorian structure is unaltered but dilapidated. ### [Raz Island](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Alderney#See) is a tidal island approached by a long causeway. "Raz" means tide race, so you don't want to wade across at high water. It's been made over into accommodation and you can't go inside. ### [Vau du Saou Bunker](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Alderney#See) is now centrepiece of a woodland wildlife reserve. ### [The Watermill](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Alderney#See) near Fort Tourgis was built in 1796 and is under restoration. There are records of a mill here from 1236. ### [Burhou](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Alderney#See) a mile northwest of Alderney is a bird reserve, and landing is not permitted during the nesting season April-July. Outside those months, there's a very basic shack which can be used overnight by birdwatchers. There's no fresh water, and the sea is your en suite. ### [The Avenue](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sark#See) is reached at the top of Harbour Hill from the pier. Most of the island amenities are around here. Many of the buildings are pre-fabs, a curious mix of modern and Butlins. Rue Lucas branches north. ### [La Seigneurie](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sark#See) Home of the Seigneur of Sark since 1730, but the house interior is not open to the public, you come for the magnificent walled garden. There are guided tours of the garden Wednesday at 11:30. ### [The Window in the Rock](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sark#See) overlooks the coast directly west of La Seigneurie. In the 1850s the Rev Collings was Seigneur, and blasted this tunnel: perhaps partly to facilitate haulage of goods from the beach below, perhaps work creation, and not least the fun of using newly-invented explosives to improve the view. ### [L’Eperquerie](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sark#See) is the north tip of Grande Sark, embellished by a Buddhist rock carving inscribed in 2000. It faces west to Guernsey island and Herm, while just north is the islet of La Grune. ### [Sark Henge](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sark#See) was constructed in 2015 to mark 450 years since the island was feu'd to Hellier de Carteret. Nine one-eyed megaliths surround a stone disc, all symbolic of this and that. ### [La Coupée](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sark#See) is the giddy causeway between Grande and Little Sark, only 300 feet (91 m) long but somewhat more than that straight down if you stumbled over either edge. It was built in 1945 by German POWs; before that the inhabitants had to scramble over the perilous ridge, clinging on against winds that tried to hurl them into the abyss. ### [silver mines](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sark#See) worked in the mid-19th century. ### [L'Etac](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sark#See) is the islet seen south of Little Sark. Scuba diving trips sometimes visit, as the strong currents promote marine life. ### [Brecqhou](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sark#See) but you only view it from the west coast of Grande Sark. This is the one that all the fuss was about, separated from Sark by 100 yards of channel, millions of pounds of litigation, and fiercely defended private ownership, but not by any political autonomy. ### [St Tugual's Chapel](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Herm#See) dates to the 11th century. The stained glass windows depict Noah's Ark and Guernsey cows, and Jesus talking to the fisherman at Herm harbour. It's named for the Breton Saint Tugual (d 564 AD) and is non-denominational and unconsecrated. It was restored in 2011 and is generally open. ### [Belvoir Bay](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Herm#See) Go a half a mile north to the long Shell Beach. ### [Shell Beach](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Herm#See) ### [Jethou](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Herm#See) is the small island half a mile south of Herm. It's governed as part of St Peter Port on Guernsey, rather than as part of Herm. But the distinction is irrelevant since it's privately owned and you can't visit, and this is as close as you'll get. ### [Castle Cornet](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) This was built in the 13th century on a tidal island, and was serially besieged, blown up, garrisoned, occupants massacred, added to, and used as a prison. In 1859 it was incorporated into the harbour breakwater. Assistance dogs only. ### [Town Church](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) It was started in the 13th century and completed by 1466. It's Anglican and the interior is mostly Victorian. ### [Hauteville House](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) Victor Hugo lived here 1856-1870 whilst in exile from France, and buying it meant he couldn't be deported from Guernsey. He wrote several of his best-known works here including Les Misérables. His descendants gifted it to the City of Paris, who now manage it. On four levels with garden, it's mobbed by Hugo's readers and admirers. ### [Guernsey Museum & Art Gallery](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) Museum of island life from prehistory to present day. Set in the pleasant Victorian Candie Garden. ### [German Naval Signals HQ](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) This bunker has been restored to its 1940s form, when it handled all the island's important military radio comms under occupation. Assistance dogs only, no toilets. ### [Chateau des Marais](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) or "Ivy Castle" is what's left of a Norman moated castle. The ruin was re-fortified in the Napoleonic wars then again fell into ruin as the Governor's garden, a pigsty and liquor distillery. A bunker was built under German occupation. The surrounds are a nature reserve, accessible 24 hours. ### [Sausmarez Manor, Gardens & Artpark](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) The oldest part of the manor dates to 13th century, but it's been continually and erratically rebuilt, and most of what you see now is sublimely botched Victoriana. The manor can only be visited on guided tours, April-Oct M-Sa, adult £7.50. However most visitors come for the Subtropical Gardens and the Artpark, both open all year. ### [German Underground Hospital](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) This is even bigger than the similar hospital on Jersey, built during the occupation against an Allied attack that never came. ### [German Occupation Museum](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) Depicts the occupation of Guernsey by German forces during World War II. ### [Jerbourg Point](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) at the southeast tip of the island is about the best of many scenic clifftop strolls along the south and east coasts. It's an obvious defensive position and Jerbourg's structures range from the Neolithic to the occupation of World War II. ### [Fort Grey](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) This is a Martello tower housing a shipwreck museum. ### [Lihou](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Guernsey#See) is a small tidal island off L'Erée headland, reached by a 1300 ft (400 m) causeway at low tide. Lihou and L'Erée are a wetland nature reserve, and access to some parts may be closed during the seabird nesting season, e.g. to the adjacent islets of Lissroy and Lihoumel. The main sight on Lihou is St Mary's Priory, established in the 12th century but ruined after the 16th century dissolution of monasteries. The farmhouse is modern. ## Sources [Visit Guernsey — recipes](https://www.visitguernsey.com/articles/2020/5-traditional-guernsey-recipes-to-try-at-home/) · [Visit Guernsey — produce](https://www.visitguernsey.com/experiences/local-produce/)Wikivoyage contributors; selection, abridgement, translation and regional planning by TRIPGUROO · CC BY-SA 4.0 [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/) · [Wikivoyage · Guernsey](https://en.wikivoyage.org/w/index.php?oldid=5383877) [Guides by topic](https://tripguroo.com/en/travel/?view=topics)
