I visited Guernsey for the first time when my son, now adult, was small. Friends who lived in Guensey and family who visited it on holiday recently have told me of its advantages, for families, especially with the very young or very old.
First, a reminder of where it is.
Of the southern coast of England in the Channel Islands. Not quite as far as coastal France. The ey at the end of the names Jersey and Guernsey means island.
Advantages Of A Holiday In Guernsey
Easy to travel there. One flight, without changes, to and from London City Airports, duration only one hour.
Low tax
No stopping at Customs because it's part of the UK sort of. Just walk through.
Fresh Food
Local food include yellow butter from the local cows. You have probably heard f Jersey cows. The Jersey and Guernsey cows are not the same. Guernsey cows are larger and paler and how different milk fat content. The Yellow colour comes from carotene, found in carrots, which is a source of vitamin A, more yellow colour and a different flavour.
English Culture With A Touch of Fun French
Victor Hugo lived here and wrote Les Mierables. You can visit his house which is a museum.
Jerseys and Guernseys
Jersey is a type of cloth weave which originated in Jersey. Guernsey also has a fabric. More details when you visit the Folk museum.
