Channel Islands at a Glance
The Channel Islands lie off the coast of France,
but have been British since 1066, though officially they are not a part of the
United Kingdom. They have a pleasant climate, can be the setting for a memorable
sea vacation, and are also increasing in importance as a financial centre. The
main island is Jersey, with its
capital St. Helier and
the famous Jersey
Zoo, has great beaches and relaxed resorts. Guernsey
has the attractive capital of St.
Peter Port and is less formal than Jersey. Visit the home of Victor Hugo at
Hautevile
House. The island of Herm
is only a 20 minute boat ride from Guernsey, and along with the island of Sark
is popular for day trips. Alderney
is the quietest of the Channel Islands and has great white sands and cliff footpaths.
