@hats bit overrun with tourists in the summer and not many beaches, plus the whole no car thing is a bit misleading as everyone uses tractors! (Im biased though- Alderney is where its at!)
@_Leon I grew up there- couldn't get away fast enough, but now appreciate and understand the attraction. Ran Guernsey half marathon when I was 11 years old in a time 0f 1:45 (dined off that for 30 years).
P.S If you like Guernsey and Herm, you will love Alderney, difficult and expensive to get to, but consequently its a genuine time warp and totally unspoilt. Highest ratio of pubs to houses in the world, with circa 2,000 population and one policeman. Very much like the west coast of Ireland, very relaxed pace of life, live and let live.
