    TOUR A - GUERNSEY ISLAND TOUR

    Excursions

    • £35 - £45
    • Approximately 3 hours
    • Limited capacity
    • Limited walking

    Departing from the pier, we will drive alongside the harbour seafront, past the 12th century church of St Peter Port and up to the top of Les Val des Terres. We continue through St Martins Village and to the Little Chapel, which is the smallest consecrated church in the world, built as a labour of love. The design, based on the Grotto at Lourdes, is decorated as a mosaic with shells and donated fragments of Wedgewood and Royal Doulton china. Guernsey Clockmakers can also be found here, specialising in clocks and jewellery.

    Following a brief stop here, we continue through country lanes to the west coast, where we will make a photo stop to capture the beautiful seascape from the high vantage point of Pleinmont cliffs. We shall view Les Hanois Lighthouse, and the ruins of an ancient watchtower where the French author Victor Hugo received inspiration for his epic work Toilers of the Sea.

    Descending the hill, we will see the natural fishing harbour of Rocquaine Bay and the Martello Tower of Fort Grey. We shall then stop at Guernsey Pearl Tea Rooms, overlooking the beautiful bay, where we can browse or may choose to purchase refreshments.

    Our coach continues along the west and north coasts, past the glorious sandy beaches of L’Eree and Vazon and huge granite rock formations at Cobo Bay, before turning inland and returning to the harbour.

    TOUR NOTES: There is very little walking involved in this tour – approximately 300 metres (985 feet) at the Little Chapel, 50 metres (165 feet) at Pleinmont Point and 10 metres (33 feet) at our refreshment stop. There are approximately 12 steps to negotiate at the Little Chapel. Unfortunately the Little Chapel is not wheelchair accessible, however guests can remain outside or on the coach if they wish. Toilet facilities are available at Guernsey Clockmakers and the tea rooms. To avoid congestion at the sites, this tour may operate in a different order to that described.
