Guernsey (/ˈɡɜːrnzi/ (About this soundlisten); Guernésiais: Guernési) is an island in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy. It lies roughly north of Saint-Malo and to the west of Jersey and the Cotentin Peninsula. With several smaller nearby islands, it forms a jurisdiction within the Bailiwick of Guernsey, a British Crown dependency. The jurisdiction is made up of ten parishes on the island of Guernsey, three other inhabited islands (Herm, Jethou and Lihou), and many small islets and rocks.

10 MUST DO ACTIVITIES on your Jersey Holiday (Channel Islands) #Jersey #ChannelIslands
There are some amazing things to see and do in the island of Jersey. Whether you're on a romantic break with a loved one, or bringing the kids for a family holiday, there's something for everyone. Here's a round up of some of the MUST-DO things to include when planning your trip.
Our first must-do are the **castles**!
Mont Orgueil is an 800 year old medieval fortress which stands guard over the quaint little fishing village of Gorey. Inside you'll find fascinating artwork & exhibitions, knights and princess dress-up, a medieval-themed play area and don't miss the stunning view from the very top.
Elizabeth Castle is built on a rocky islet, just south of the capital, St Helier. Surrounded by sea, it's defended Jersey for over 400 years. You can walk out to the castle on the causeway at low tide but when it's high you can catch the castle ferry, an amphibious vehicle which drives on the sand then floats once it's in the water. Catch the living history characters' midday parade and watch them fire the canon. Explore the German bunkers added during World War 2. Climb to the highest point & check out the view of St. Aubin's bay. and visit St. Helier's rock top hermitage.
The next thing you have to do is to see the island from the water on a **boat trip**. Whether that's sailing around the coast exploring secret beaches and caves or visiting the other rocks and islets belonging to Jersey. There's also a high likelihood you'll come across dolphins, seals and other local wildlife while you're out there.
**Jersey Zoo** is world famous for its founder; naturalist and author Gerald Durrell, and the conservation work carried out internationally by the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. There are scheduled keeper talks, play areas and you can also book exclusive behind the scenes experiences. You can even stay overnight at the park in either a 5* glamping pod or the more budget-friendly hostel.
Jersey's famously the sunniest place in the British isles, so if you're looking for a little R&R, you'll find plenty of space on our world class **beaches**. There are way too many beautiful bays to mention here but after this, make sure you watch our video on the 10 best beaches in Jersey!
And while you're at the beach make sure you enjoy our crystal clear waters by checking out some of the **watersports** on offer. Why not take a guided kayaking or coasteering tour?
After all that activity, you'll have worked up an appetite. As a small island surrounded by sea Jersey has some of the best **seafood** available, and it reaches your plate as fresh as can be. Check out some of the locally run seafood restaurants where you'll find oysters, sea bass, crab, scallops and more all caught in Jersey waters - delicious!
The **Botanical Gardens at Samares Manor** are a must see in Jersey. Explore the Herb Garden, Japanese garden, duck pond and stables. If you have children with you they'll enjoy the willow labyrinth, jungle path and play area. Then when you've seen all of that recharge with lunch at the cafe.
Jersey is an island with a rich history and the best place to learn about some of that history is the **Jersey War Tunnels.** It's a German Underground Hospital dug deep into a hillside which has been transformed into a museum, to reveal the true story of life in Jersey during its occupation in World War 2.
If you're travelling with children then **Amaizin Adventure Park** is the must-visit attraction for you! With activities like mini golf, go karts and a jumping pillow outside, a huge soft play inside, a barnyard of animals to get to know as well as the corn maze, you can spend all day here and never get bored!
And finally, while you're here make sure you catch the **sunset** in St Ouen. There are plenty of beach cafes with excellent food along the bay so relax and enjoy uninterrupted sea views as the sun disappears below the horizon.
We hope you found this video helpful, be sure to check out the rest of our videos on this channel and let us know in the comments if there's anything else you'd like to know before booking your Jersey holiday.

Guernsey is one of the Channel Islands in the English Channel near the French coast, and is a self-governing British Crown dependency. It's known for beach resorts like Cobo Bay and the scenery of its coastal cliffs. Castle Cornet, a 13th-century harbor fortification in the capital of St. Peter Port, now contains history and military museums. Hauteville House is the lavish former home of French writer, Victor Hugo.
Guernsey is an island in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy. With several smaller nearby islands, it forms a jurisdiction within the Bailiwick of Guernsey, a Crown dependency. The jurisdiction is made up of ten parishes on the island of Guernsey, three other inhabited islands (Herm, Jethou and Lihou), and many small islets and rocks. The jurisdiction is not part of the United Kingdom, although defence and most foreign relations are handled by the British Government.
The entire jurisdiction lies within the Common Travel Area of the British Isles and is not a member of the European Union, but has a special relationship with it, being treated as part of the European Community with access to the single market for the purposes of free trade in goods. Taken together with the separate jurisdictions of Alderney and Sark it forms the Bailiwick of Guernsey. The two Bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey together form the geographical grouping known as the Channel Islands.
For most of the Second World War, the Channel Islands were occupied by German troops. Before the occupation, 80% of Guernsey children had been evacuated to England to live with relatives or strangers during the war. Some children were never reunited with their families. Guernsey, Herm and some other smaller islands together have a total area of 71 square kilometres (27 sq mi) and coastlines of about 46 kilometres (29 mi). Elevation varies from sea level to 110 m (360 ft) at Hautnez on Guernsey. There are many smaller islands, islets, rocks and reefs in Guernsey waters. Combined with a tidal range of 10 metres (33 feet) and fast currents of up to 12 knots, this makes sailing in local waters dangerous.
Ports and harbours exist at St Peter Port and St Sampson. There is a paved airport: Guernsey Airport but no working railway. The States of Guernsey wholly own their own airline, Aurigny. The decision to purchase the airline was made to protect important airlinks to and from the island and the sale was completed on 15 May 2003. It was announced that the States would sell Aurigny to a rival Channel Islands' airline, Blue Islands, in July 2010, but the talks fell through in September 2010 due to uncertainty as to whether arrival/departure slots at Gatwick Airport could be guaranteed.
The Guernsey Railway, virtually an electric tramway, began working on 20 February 1892 and was abandoned on 9 June 1934. It replaced an earlier transport system which was worked by steam, the Guernsey Steam Tramway. The latter began service on 6 June 1879 with six locomotives. Alderney is now the only Channel Island with a working railway.
Guernsey, with its sandy beaches, cliff walks, seascapes and offshore islands has been a tourist destination since at least the Victorian days. Guernsey enters Britain in Bloom with St. Martin Parish winning the small town category twice in 2006 and 2011, Saint Peter Port winning the large coastal category in 2014 and St Peter's winning the small coastal prize in 2015. Herm has won Britain in Bloom categories several times: in 2002, 2008, and 2012, Herm won the Britain in Bloom Gold Award.
( Guernsey - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Guernsey . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Guernsey - UK

10 BEST beaches in Jersey, Channel Islands (+ AMAZING views)
#Jersey #ChannelIslamds #beaches
Jersey is well-known for it's sun, sea and sand so in this video we show you the very best of Jersey's beaches.
00:11 Grève de Lecq beach is on the boarder of the parishes of St. Mary and St. Ouen. Its golden sand, easy access and great facilities make it the most popular beach on Jersey's north coast.

✅ Toilets
✅ Carpark
✅ Bus (No. 9)
00:37 Archirondel is a small pebble beach tucked away down a little lane in the north-eastern corner of the island. The bay faces East, making it perfect for a swim at sunrise. One of its most recognisable features is the Martello Tower which was originally built for artillery soldiers and has now been refurbished into holiday accommodation.

✅ Toilets
✅ Carpark

01:02 Heading South around the coast the next bay you come to is Anne Port, another pebbly beach popular in the early morning for those heading into the water. At the southern end of the bay is a rock face known as Geoffrey's Leap where legend has it criminals were executed by being thrown into the sea.

❌ Carpark
❌ Bus
01:27 Officially named the Royal Bay of Grouville by Queen Victoria, this beach is more commonly known by locals as 'Long Beach'. With Mont Orgueil Castle at the Northern end it runs down the east coast of Jersey. Easy access and shallow water make it great for swimming although at low tide there's a long walk to the sea due to large tides.
❌ Lifeguards
✅ Cafe
✅ Toilets
✅ Carpark
✅ Bus (several)
02:02 At the Western end of the south coast is Portelet bay, with golden sand and clear shallow waters perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Portelet isn't easily accessible, but the adventurous are rewarded with amazing views! The most recognisable aspect of the bay is Janvrin's Tomb where a local sea captain, who's ship returned carrying the plague, is laid to rest having not been allowed to return to shore.
❌ Lifeguards
✅ Cafe
❌ Toilets
✅ Carpark
✅ Bus (12a)
02:40 Ouaisne is a sheltered beach where you can swim safely. Kismet Cabana serves street food with live music in the summer. This area has historic links with smuggling and the pub in the bay is called the Old Smugglers Inn.
❌ Lifeguards
✅ Cafe
✅ Toilets
✅ Carpark
❌ Bus
03:05 The island's most recognisable and popular beach is St. Brelade's Bay, with its white sand, safe, clear waters and palm-fringed promenade, it was voted in the top three best UK beaches on TripAdvisor. Its shallow waters make this beach the ideal place for swimming and water-sports.
✅ Lifeguards
✅ Cafe
✅ Toilets
✅ Carpark
✅ Bus (12a, 14, Beach Bus)
03:48 Beauport Bay is hidden just around the headland to the West of St. Brelade's but once you're there, it feels a whole world away. Getting there is an adventure in itself, down a steep pathway and steps from the small car park at the top but the climb down (and back up again afterwards) is definitely worth it. A strip of golden sand backs onto a pebble bank and the area directly behind the beach is a nature reserve. The crystal clear water here is perfect for swimming and a popular spot for boats. The lack of facilities here all add to the charm!
❌ Lifeguards
❌ Cafe
❌ Toilets
❌ Carpark
❌ Bus
04:30 St. Ouen's Bay is the longest beach in Jersey and spans almost the entire west coast. With miles of clean white sand there's plenty of space for everyone. The rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean make this the best spot for surfing in Jersey and it even boasts one of the oldest surfing clubs in Europe. With its westerly aspect St. Ouen's is the place to be at sunset to relax and watch the sky turn golden over Corbiere lighthouse and La Rocco Tower.

Discovering Jersey - the island of dreams (and nightmares)
#jersey #channelislands
Jersey is in the Channel Islands, just off the coast of northern France but they belong to the UK. Or do they? In fact, this is just one of the many mysteries of this beautiful little island that we attempt to uncover during our five night Cosmos Stay and Explore trip. There's so much to unpack and so much to discover we just had to make a video to try and convey our surprise at how much we fell in love with this island, it's quirky and unique features and it's horrific and harrowing journey through enforced occupation by the Nazis in World War Two. If you've never been, this little video journal will hopefully inspire you to find out more.

Castle Cornet - Welcome to Guernsey
To donate and support our channel:
For many travellers to Guernsey, Castle Cornet will be first to greet them. A massive structure luring tourists through its gates. With an 800-year history; many of the islands most historical moments, Castle Cornet is a must-see. It offers food and drink and a display of cannon fire at high noon by gunners dressed in period uniform. You can’t visit Guernsey and not say hello to Castle Cornet.

----- Short History -----
- In 1066, when William Duke of Normandy became William I, King of England, the Channel Islands became possessions of the English Crown.
- In 1204, King John lost control of Normandy but the islands remained part of England.
- Following the loss of the Duchy of Normandy the tidal island was first fortified in the 13th century, between 1206 and 1256. This was to protect against the French.
- Timber and lead was sent from England to build the castle.
- At this time it consisted of a keep, a chapel, two courtyards and curtain walls.
- In 1338, the French captured the island and took Castle Cornet. They massacred the garrison stationed there.
- In 1340, the island was recaptured by the English but the castle was recaptured in 1345.
- The French had improved the defences of the castle.
- In 1358, the French captured the castle again, but only for a year. An island traitor was executed.
- In 1372, Owain Lawgoch a claimant to the Welsh throne, leading a free company on behalf of France, attacked Guernsey in an assault popularly called La Descente des Aragousais. He never managed to capture the castle as it was too well defended.
- But the French would capture it again in 1380 for a short time before being evicted again.
- The maintenance and garrison were paid for from revenues raised in the island by the Warden (Keeper of the Castle) under royal warrant.
- In the 16th century, with the advent of cannons, the castle was remodelled.
- In 1547, after the French captured Sark, they attacked Guernsey and the castle again, but were met with heavy cannon fire from the castle.
- In 1627, King Charles I granted additional rights to Guernsey in order to reduce the runnings costs of the castle by the Crown.
- During the English Civil Wars (1642–1651) the castle was Royalist, whilst the island was Parliamentarian.
- The castle fired an estimated 10,000 cannon balls into the town of St Peter Port. The Royal Court had to relocate to Elizabeth College as many buildings in the town had been destroyed.
- The commissioners of the island were captured and imprisoned in the castle. But they made a rope out of flex and managed to escape Carey Tower and return to the island.
- Jersey was Royalist and in 1651 fell to Parliamentarian forces. Whilst there, Nicholas Robert of Guernsey managed to recover the Crown of England, that belonged to Charles I, and deliver it to the Governor of Castle Cornet.
- In 1651, two years after the execution of King Charles I, Castle Cornet surrendered, the last Royalist stronghold to do so. The Royal Crown was returned to London.
- After the war the castle served as a prison for parliamentary leader Major-General John Lambert. A garden within the castle bears his name.
- It also served as official resident of the Governor of Guernsey until 1672. But in that year, a bolt of lightning struck the magazine of the castle and destroyed the Great Hall, Chapel and some living courters. Many were killed, including the governor's wife and mother. Soon after, the governor's residence was moved to the island and the tower was never rebuilt.
- By 1800, the castle was considered inadequate as a garrison and Fort George replaced Castle Cornet as the main barracks for the island.
- During the Napoleonic Wars, the castle was upgraded. It also ceased to be the only prison on the island after a prison at St James Street was built in 1811.
- The castle also became integrated into the breakwater from the island.
- During WWII a small German garrison occupied the castle. They added concrete modifications to it.
- After the war it ceased to be a prison for the first time in its history.
- In 1947, the Crown gave the castle to Guernsey as a token of loyalty during both World Wars.
