Walking In Guernsey | Tips To See The Sights

Guernsey is a lovely place to bring your family during the summer holidays. This tranquil, beautiful Channel Island is made up of wooded valleys, botanical gardens and small town life, but the coastal life has to be seen to be believed.

The kids will love it, the beaches are safe and clean, the waters are true blue, and you can adventure off into the secret coves or take off on a relaxing cliff-top walk, all while staying in the UK.

You can get to Guernsey by boat from various spots on the south coast of England such as Pool (2h30min crossing) Weymouth (2h crossing) and Portsmouth (7h crossing) or you can fly from most British regional airports, London Gatwick and Stansted and Dublin.

If you're traveling with little ones be sure to bring plenty of snacks and pack their Nintendo DSs and R4i cards chock full of games for the journey - it'll work a treat!
