are no cars and no pressure, just an active policy of
preserving the island’s pristine natural environment and
peacefulness. Located just three miles from Guernsey,
the only way to arrive on Herm Island is by boat. For
many people, a trip to Herm is a like a pilgrimage into
the nostalgia of simpler times, a ritual that allows them
to forget the day-to-day demands of modern living and
embrace the island’s natural tranquility. (B,D)
DAY 7
Today we cruise to the
Isle of Sark,
another world
apart from the hustle and bustle of daily life. We tour
this marvelous, car-free, haven by
horse and carriage
.
This tranquil hideaway, with lush, dazzling wildflowers
and secluded sandy beaches surrounded by huge
cliffs, coves and caves is a true Channel Island gem.
The horse-drawn carriages trundle along the Island’s
charming roads, which are also enjoyed by cyclists and
those on foot, but not by motorists. After another
nostalgic excursion, why not finish your visit with a Sark
cream tea. (B,D)
DAY 8
This morning we transfer to Guernsey’s capital of
St
Peter Port
, with one of the most beautiful harbours in
Europe surrounded by great history in cobbled streets.
In the afternoon our ferry* departs for Poole, from
where we transfer to Bournemouth for a final night at
the Hallmark East Cliff hotel. (B,D)
DAY 9
Today we bid farewell to Bournemouth and join our
trains to homeward destinations. (B)
* Crossing times subject to ferry published timetable and
conditions.
** Please note that for the May departure, we visit
Guernsey first and then Jersey **
