Alderney, less than 8 miles from mainland France, is the second largest island of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. It is 3.5 miles long and 1.5 miles wide at it's broadest extent.

It is a place where there is always time for everything, a quiet tranquil island where everyone feels they can unwind and do things at a slower pace.

The island is for nature lovers, for families who want to get away from it all and spend time together exploring. A good network of roads means that it is easy to get around and the airport is only 15 minutes walking distance from the quaint little town St. Anne. 

Pathways across the common and cliff walks enable you to explore and enjoy the wildlife, the whole  island is easily explored on foot.

Many of the concrete defences built during the German Occupation of Alderney still remain and are dotted along the coastline.

The island is surrounded by white, sandy bays and bathing is safe at all times.

  Alderney has the only working railway in the Channel islands which runs from Braye harbour to the north east coast. Former London Underground carriages are pulled by a diesel engine during the Summer months only.

Aurigny airways travel several times daily to the island from Guernsey, a short and enjoyable flight, very popular with day trippers.
