Close enough that on a clear day,  you can see France off in the distance, the Channel Islands are a great place to relax and simply get away from it all.  If we were looking for a real getaway in Britain, this is one of the places we'd seek refuge. In fact, we have!  Take a fast "speed" ferry to or from France. Buy a Guernsey sweater. No, buy two Guernsey sweaters! You’ll only regret it later if you only buy just one. Oh yes, buy an ice cream. The cream is just about unequaled anywhere (it's those Guernsey and Jersey cows, you know). Buy another ice cream before you leave. Life is short.  “Don't worry. Be Happy!”

       Channel Islands  
Regional Guide Historical Description of the Channel Islands
Alderney Guide States of Alderney site is the Alderney government site. It lists hotels, transportation, restaurants and other useful tourist information. It's a slow site, like many of the other Channel Island sites. All we can say is "Slow down." All good things come to those that ... wait.  All right, it's too slow. If life only moved this slowly!
Guernsey Guide Islands of Guernsey: Guernsey Tourist Board
Doesn't do justice to the Islands of Guernsey. Hope they sink more time and money into this site. Guernsey is a wonderful place to visit and deserves a better site.
Guernsey Guide Visit Guernsey
Slow site, and like the site above, we would like to see more added here.
Jersey Guide Jersey Tourism
The Official Tourist Board Site for the Island of Jersey. Very nicely done site. If you are thinking of being there in July, please visit the Garden Festival pages.

Jersey Guide Jersey Paradise Found
SARK Sark (Sercq) Web Site

The site is not very big, but then neither is Sark. Come spend a day, or longer, this site features a B&B, on what is certainly the most charming little isle in the Channel Islands. No cars allowed! Very nice.  

Sark Tourism
News/Events Attractions and Accomodations - with some nice photos, and reminder that Sark is an isle with no cars allowed, and worth the trip.  

 

Transportation Emeraude Lines
