Day 3 St Ouen Jersey - St Peter Port Guernsey - St Sampson Guernsey

St Peter Port

Today, take a short ferry journey over the Guernsey. The unique laws and customs found on the island mean that many of the day-to-day sights are different from the mainland. The capital, St Peter Port, has been a thriving port since Roman times and exudes a unique island atmosphere.

Must see and do:

Castle Cornet (www.museums.gov.gg/castle.htm) | Fort Grey (www.museums.gov.gg/fortgrey.htm) | Guernsey Museum and Art Gallery (www.museum.guernsey.net/) | German Occupation Museum (www.occupied.guernsey.net/occ_museum.htm)

St Sampson

On to the northern parish of St Sampson. In past times, the northern extremity of Guernsey would separate from the mainland at high tide creating a tidal island. At St Sampson’s harbour, you can visit the site of the bridge that once linked the two parts of Guernsey.
