Rating: 4; Vote: 2

Guernsey is the second largest of the Channel Islands. Just twenty-five square miles in area, this pocket-sized British Crown dependency is big on sunshine, serenity and history. St. Peter Port, is one of Europes prettiest harbor towns. Standing guard over the capital for over 800 years is Castle Cornet, which houses some of the islands finest museums. Continue your history lesson back in town, at the Guernsey Museum and Art Gallery. Just outside in Candie Gardens, stands a tribute to the literary giant, Victor Hugo, who fell under Guernseys spell in the 19th century. Follow coastal paths, which pass coastal forts like Clarence Battery and sheltered beaches like Petit Bot Bay. While Guernseys coastline often steals the show, youll find plenty to explore inland too, such as the nature trails and floral displays of Saumarez Park and Sausmarez Manor. Step into the damp netherworld of the German Underground Hospital, a maze of tunnels hewn from solid rock during World War Two. On the outskirts of St Peter Port, a former U-Boat fuel depot houses the La Vallette Underground Military Museum. After the war, German equipment littered the island. The German Occupation Museum displays an incredible array of this wartime memorabilia, and pays tribute to the resourceful islanders who endured the years of occupation. After spending a few hours wandering through the shadows of war, stepping back into the islands sea air and sunshine is all more the sweeter

As a one-time uk based yachtie, I have sailed many times to Guernsey, Jersey and Alderney. I think Guernsey and Jersey have very different atmospheres from each other and both are equally delightful.
Alderney, on the other hand is where I'd go to find peace and solitude to recharge the batteries.
Nice video. btw, at 6. 03. all the MORE sweeter?

Good video and quite informative in the time allotted to it. But, it's so much more than this video describes, it concentrated on attractions rather than capturing the essence and the experience of the island. I know, I've lived here for 53 years.

Some strange pronunciations and not much of the the many beaches and bays outside of the the main town area, but overall not a bad overview of our little island! Thanks.

Ive been to Guernsey in 2016 on a cruise. Even though it was rainy and a little cold, I loved it and want to visit again.
