Guernsey, Channel Islands

St Peter's Port, Guernsey

Guernsey is the second largest of the Channel Islands. We anchored off shore and took a water shuttle into St Peter's Port.
 

Entering St Peter's Port

Cornet Castle is visible as we enter the port.

Castle Cornet

The first thing we did was purchase a bus ticket, which was a budget way of seeing the small island. 

On our return to St Peter's Port, we headed for Castle Cornet in time for the noon day gun fired by the gunners in brilliant red.

As we wandered about the castle, we took time to look around the museums, which have some decent dioramas along with expected artefacts and story boards.

During WWII, Nazis occupied the island.

There are great views of the harbour and town from this 800 year-old guardian.

We has some time to explore the town before returning.

Here is a brief video overview of Guernsey from my YouTube Channel.

Travel notes

Comfortable busses circle the island on a regular schedule.

Castle Cornet is about a mile from the port.

  There is a fee to enter the castle.

The Guernsey pound is valued based on the British Pound
