Discover the Bailiwick of Guernsey! Perfect destinations to widen your flying skills.
Guernsey is home to Britain's cleanest beach, Vazon Bay on the island's west coast, and the world's smallest chapel, the Little Chapel and the capital of St Peter Port is said to be the prettiest harbour town in Europe. Then there are Guernsey's south coast cliffs, which are a walker's paradise.
The best way to explore the island is on foot following the Tasty Walk guides provided by Visit Guernsey, which are a series of 15-guided tours with interactive maps to follow and audio guides. As well as guiding you carefully around Guernsey's coastlines and cliff paths, these walks also help you search for some of the best restaurants and cafes, kiosks and pubs along the way.
The Bailwick of Guernsey is a proud archipelago with our sister islands of Alderney, Sark and Herm, all just a short boat or flight away. Each has its own unique story to tell from the wildlife haven of Alderney to the breath-taking views around the Sark coastline and the unspoilt beaches of Herm Island. The islands are a food lover's paradise with some of the freshest seafood in British waters, from catch to plate in just a few hours.
Our GA-friendly ATC team will integrate your arrival with our commercial movements, getting you quickly onto the ground where our handling agents will look after your parking. A few quick formalities, and you are free to enjoy the unique experiences that our peaceful and picturesque island offers.
