The jewel in the Bailiwick crown and one of the Channel Islands just off the French coast, Guernsey offers the ideal destination for couples or families looking to get away from it all without the hassle of a long-haul flight. In fact, you can be there within the hour from London Gatwick and with its Normandy architectural heritage, balmy weather and narrow cobbled lanes you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re in the Med. Think Cornish village meets Normandy France. Bliss.
Beautiful beaches and secluded coves are peppered around the perimeter of the island and offer crystal clear turquoise waters ideal for wild swimming or kayaking adventures. Too strenuous? Just kick back on the golden sands and soak in the sun – we won’t judge you.
