There's more to Guernsey than cream teas: there are Neolithic graves, Victorian forts and German fortifications to explore. Adventure lovers will find sports such as coasteering and rock climbing, and the north coast is excellent for water sports. Foodies will want to visit St Peter Port which lures visitors in with its great dining scene. From the world’s smallest chapel to the oldest man-made structure in Europe, there’s lots to see and do.
On Guernsey island, you will find fresh, locally produced food with flavours of both France and England. Some specialities include rose veal, spider crab (traditionally served with bread and butter), ormer casserole (a fruit cake), bean jar (pork and bean stew) and Guernsey Gáche (a fruit bread). And, make sure you order a pint of locally brewed Rocquette cider whilst you’re there.
Every October, the Channel Islands (including Guernsey) host the Tennerfest. In Guernsey, most the restaurants participate in this island-wide event, offering a three-course meal for £10-£20 per person. Diners can feast on everything from fresh seafood to local delights such as Bean Jar and artisanal cheeses.
