No other Channel Island holiday is like visiting Alderney. Often described as the hidden gem of the Channel Islands, a holiday in Alderney offers a warm, peaceful and relaxing escape. At just one and a half miles wide and three and a half miles long, you are never far from the charming town centre or our beautiful coastline. Alderney is host to a wide variety of events and stunning natural heritage, and we also enjoy a mild climate which makes it a popular destination all year round. Spring arrives early in Alderney – make the most of the lengthening days before Easter with bracing coastal walks and the sight and sound of thousands of seabirds returning as the island awakens from its winter slumber. Late spring and summer welcomes the spectacle of thousands of wildflowers bursting into bloom, best enjoyed on the numerous cliff and coastal paths. The island then bursts into life with balmy days and sun-kissed evenings embracing visitors as they arrive to enjoy a host of events, tours and festivals. 2

Alderney is the closest of all the Channel Islands to the UK and with direct
routes from the south coast and our neighbouring islands Guernsey and
Jersey it is in easy reach.
You’ll find travelling by air to Alderney a friendly and personal experience, you’ll certainly
feel in the holiday mood once you have landed. Where else would you be welcomed on
to your plane by the pilot to find you all have your very own window seat.
Alternatively if you prefer to travel by sea you would have a hour 20 minute boat ride
in the fresh salty air from Guernsey and around 50 minutes from Normandy, France.
As you arrive in Alderney’s harbour, don’t assume you’ll be greeted by the sight of a
large port, our harbour is small but charming instantly giving you a feel for the island.

Island hopping
Jersey
An island of rediscovery where landscapes
are just waiting to be explored. An island
of natural beauty, where you’re free to
reconnect and revitalise in the fresh
sea air. Whether it’s the view from a
12th Century castle, a beach walk along
Jersey’s unspoilt coastline or taking time
to reconnect while you watch the sun sink
into the sea over St. Ouen’s Bay, Jersey is
there to be discovered. Just nine miles by
five, making Jersey the perfect stop off on
your island hopping holiday.

a b l e h i g h l i g h t s
Alderney has the only working railway in the Channel Islands. It used to carry stones
from the quarries to sites back in the 19th century. Nowadays, the old wagons have
been replaced by London Underground carriages to carry visitors from Braye Station
to Mannez Station at the east end of the island. It runs every Sunday from May to
September and also every Saturday in July and August, departures at 2.30 & 3.30pm.
£6 per adult & £3 per child return.

Alderney Bayeux Tapestry Finale
The Alderney Library is the home of Alderney’s famous Bayeux Tapestry Finale (free
entry), a 3m panel that completes the story of the unfinished Bayeux Tapestry. It was
stitched by over 400 residents and visitors during 2012 and was unveiled in April 2013
by the Curator of the Bayeux Tapestry. The panel shows the major events from the
conclusion of the Battle of Hastings on 14th October 1066 to the coronation of William
the Conqueror in Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. For those interested,
talks can be arranged by contacting Kate Russell on 01481 823366 or j.kate@cwgsy.net.

12Lighthouse
Mannez Lighthouse, built in 1912, is
32metres high and provides a navigational
light over the hazardous waters between
Alderney and the French mainland.
The light used to have a range of 24
nautical miles, and together with the two
impressive fog horns, it protected shipping
from the strong tides and numerous rocks
surrounding the island. The lighthouse is
now electrified and the fog horn redundant
but the black and white tower remains
a key landmark. Tours available every
Sunday at 3pm from May-September.
Alderney Bell Tower
The Parish Church of St Anne is home to
a glorious peal of 12 Taylor bells which
are rung by a dedicated team of nearly 2
dozen volunteers aged between 13 and 93.
It is the only peal of 12 bells in the Channel
Islands. The bells sound out over the town
for both secular and religious events.
Ringing a tower bell requires many hours
of practice in order to achieve sufficient
mastery of the timing to be able to
generate the intricate patterns required.
Ringing and non-ringing visitors are always
welcome, please visit alderneybells.com
for more info.

13Meet the island’s residents. .
Bobbie – Guest House Manager at Farm Court and Lighthouse Tour Guide
Life in Alderney is unique. It may seem like a quiet haven of peace and tranquillity, and
a lot of the time, it is. However, there is a vibrant undertow to it, just like in the seas that
surround it. I love the variety of life in Alderney: one minute you can be sitting peacefully
on a bench, staring out at the waves, and the next, you’re on a train, playing the ukulele.
Life in Alderney is never dull - there’s always something going on!
The island’s volunteer community is strong in Alderney and the good will of people
living in the island never fails to amaze me. I volunteer by conducting lighthouse tours,
and I’m also a projectionist at the cinema. There are many opportunities in Alderney to
volunteer for the community, and it’s great being a part of that. I think it’s a measure of
the sort of place that Alderney is that so many are willing to give their time freely and
willingly. It makes for a kind, caring and happy community.
I’m not a particularly active person - I’m more of a reader than a runner, but I love
cycling round the island on a warm April day. Obviously, being a lazy cyclist, I have an
electric bike, but there’s nothing better than cycling round Alderney just as everything
is bursting forth with colour and life. One of the things I discovered this summer was
swimming in the actual sea – something I thought I would never do!
One thing I think everyone should experience while they’re visiting the island is an
Alderney sunset. The skies around Clonque at sunset are magnificent. There are many
fantastic photos taken of the sun setting Burhou-wards, but I think you have to see it
for yourself. Of course, there are so many must-see and must-do things in Alderney that
it’s hard to pick just one, which means that people will just have to keep coming back
time and time again!
Farm Court, Alderney
14Tess – Pig Farmer, Radiographer and Sailing Club Commodore
Alderney is a small island with a permanent community of around 2000 people living
on it, although the numbers do swell during the summer months. Many villages in the
UK have a similar population, however none have the diversity of shops, restaurants,
clubs, and activities within their boundaries; from many different keep-fit groups to
knitting, from helping clear paths with The Wildlife Trust, to going to hear top class
visiting musicians play, or even playing in either of two bands yourself, or singing in the
community choir.
I love living here because there is so much going on. Personally I am involved in the
Sailing Club, as Commodore, with sailing events to help organise and visiting sailing and
yacht clubs to welcome. The daily teas every summer afternoon are very popular with
locals and visitors alike, and the bar draws a crowd during the evenings. I am also in the
Theatre Group, which puts on shows and plays, and brings acts to the island, as well as
playing in both bands.
Then there is work to fit in... I have several jobs (which is often the case here) I am the
island’s radiographer, doing regular sessions in the local, well equipped hospital, and a
full time on call commitment. I am also part owner in a pig farm, with daily feeding duties
for the 50 or so free range rare breed pigs, and my particular interest is in the meat
production, including making delicious sausages, and bacon. Then, another business
I am involved in is London House - a retail shop selling homewares, electrical goods,
gifts and there my job is picture framing and large format printing of photographs and
canvasses. Some days I do some of every job... no chance of getting bored! It’s like I’m
constantly juggling, and trying not to drop any balls!
Holidays here are wonderful. The most beautiful and quiet beaches, rugged cliffs, all to
be explored, before resting a while in a local hostelry or taking a picnic to one of the
well placed benches to watch the sunset. You may even find me there doing the same,
if I find time!

17Star party Why star party? Alderney is very lucky to have astronomical quality skies and we want to share it with you through our Star Parties. Please see the list of events opposite; now is the time to see how special Alderney’s dark skies are, enjoy the experience and join in a star party. Alderney is the perfect location to discover the skies above us as the island is small and low-lying, set right in the English Channel with pristine air from across the Atlantic. No atmospheric pollution and the prevailing winds remain in what is known as laminar flow. Light pollution is also at an absolute minimum over large parts of the island. The island’s clear laminar air flow allows visitors to also experience many daytime atmospheric effects not often seen elsewhere, including the ‘Green Flash’, that is so common here that many ignore it. Solar pillars and sundogs (mock suns) are frequently seen as are gorgeous Earth Shadow. All can be seen at dawn as well as dusk.

19Whceoremesthaelivpeast The peace and tranquillity that is so characteristic of Alderney belies a history that was anything but serene. The strategic position of Alderney in the English Channel, some 60 miles due south of Portland Bill and just eight miles from the French coast, has long been understood and exploited as early as 300AD when the Romans built the small fort known as ‘The Nunnery’ at Longis Bay. Throughout the Medieval and Tudor periods, military defences were essential parts of Alderney’s life. Privateering, or licensed piracy on shipping belonging to the enemies of the Crown, provided much of Alderney’s income during the 18th century, a time when the island’s many fine Georgian properties were built. 20

Channel Islands Heritage Festival
31 March – 10 May
Homecoming Day – 15 December
During the early Victorian period, a wide project of fortification took place on the island.
The Breakwater and numerous forts and batteries were built to defend Alderney against
a potential French attack. During WWII the population was evacuated to the UK and
did not begin to return until late 1945. Whilst they were away, German occupying forces
constructed an uncountable number of bunkers and defences against invasion using
forced labour. Those returning faced hardship and uncertainty, showing indomitable
spirit and resourcefulness as they slowly rebuilt their island home. Homecoming Day
is remembered each year on December 15. Each wave of occupation has left indelible
vestiges offering visitors the most interesting lesson of history as well as a wide
exploration playground.

21Wild Alderney Alderney might be tiny but it offers a wide diversity of habitats and species. If you have ever wondered which season is the best to come to Alderney to see wildlife, the answer would be… that there isn’t one! There’s plenty of fascinating things to see in each and every season, but each one has a different charm. Early spring is the exciting time of “firsts of the year”: the first swallow, the first cuckoo, the first bluebell, and the first butterfly… so many species that are expectantly awaited each year. As days lengthen, many migrants return to the island. Some of them will stay and breed, others will continue on their way further north. This time of the year is ideal to enjoy the coast covered by colourful flowers and see our nesting seabirds, and especially our iconic gannets and puffins, from a boat tour! 22
Bats and (our very own blonde) hedgehogs
are out during the summer nights. The
weekly nocturnal guided tours are a not-to-
be-missed walk for anyone wanting to meet
all those fascinating creatures. With the
days getting warmer, the profusion of wild
flowers, including stunning orchids, would
naturally attract numerous butterflies and
moths, like the delicate Glanville fritillary.
You might also spot our only reptile while
visiting the Wildlife Bunker, the Alderney
Wildlife Trust’s interpretation centre on the
south cliffs.
Autumn is the season of bird migration
and surprises. Thousands of passerines
and good numbers of raptors, waders and
waterfowl pass through Alderney on their one of the most exciting times in the year
journey to their wintering sites. Among for any birder, ringer, researcher and
them might be some rare or unusual birds naturalist, and the best one to visit the
brought by the easterly wind. It’s certainly Alderney Bird Observatory.
Finally, when winter arrives, Alderney
provides food and shelter for many birds
in the ponds and on the fields. A stunning
bird hide offers the best views of Longis
pond and a shelter for naturalists. A
windswept coastal walk might give you a
view of a pod of dolphins or a single seal
feeding in the rich waters around the island
and you may also see the waves breaking
over the breakwater; fascinating! It’s also at
this time of the year that the first breeding
seabirds return to Alderney announcing
that spring is just around the corner!

Alderney Free Range Pigs
This herd of rare-breed Oxford Sandy and Blacks
enjoying a free range life at the Giffoine behind the
airport are a pleasure to watch. Because of the way
they are reared, naturally weaned and allowed to
forage, the pork from these pigs is also exceptional.
Available from local supermarkets or find it on the
menu in majority of our restaurants.
Kiln Farm
Located on the East coast of the island, Kiln Farm is a
family run farm providing the island with the freshest
dairy and meat products. With their very own
Farm Shop located on Victoria Street and supplying
local eateries it is easy to try and taste this
fabulous local produce.

Foraging
Alderney’s mix of rocky coastline and salt-sprayed
grasslands and woodlands make it a veritable
cornucopia of wild edibles. From rummaging in rock
pools for shellfish and sampling seaweeds to nibbling
on the wild ancestors of common vegetables there is
plenty to discover if you have a taste for adventure.
