Overview

Sark & Herm

Sark island’s countryside is characterised by its granite cliffs topped with flowered fields known as cotils. Whilst only 5km (3 miles) long, and 2.5km (1.5 miles) wide, it boasts 65km (40 miles) of picturesque coastlines. There are no cars, giving Sark an enchantment that is quite unique.

After WWII, Herm was left derelict and abandoned until the Guernsey authorities bought it from the Crown for an undisclosed fee. Today, Herm is privately leased, and run as a resort island. It relies heavily on visitors coming to the island via Guernsey. Herm Island is a destination for day visitors from other Channel Islands, as well as a favourite with 'locals' from Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney and Sark. It offers unspoilt beaches and a safe, clean, pollution-free environment. There are no cars, no crowds and definitely no stress. Herm is the perfect place to stay for a truly relaxing island holiday, offering peace, comfort, natural beauty and relaxation.
