Closer to France than to its neighbours, far-flung Alderney may be small but it packs a punch – here’s why you should visit the tiny island no one’s talking about (yet) 🖊️ By emily_cope1
It has a lot of character and history for its stature, from gloriousand stunning cliff paths to the quaint shops and restaurants in the centre of “the town”, that being St Anne.
“Kids play outside and there’s no crime. I think the longest traffic jam I’ve been in was 10 minutes and that was because I was stuck behind a horse rider.”. The Alderney Railway is 150 years old, its first passengers Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Diesel locomotives pulling two former London Underground carriages run from the harbour up the scenic north coast and back again.
Binoculars in hand, I head out to make use of the many bird hides dotted across the island – including the Longis and Mannez hides on the Longis Nature Reserve, as well as the restored bunker in Val du Saou, where swallows nest in spring.
