Guernsey ranked Britain’s best island

In a feature in the Daily Telegraph entitled ‘Britain’s 10 greatest islands – and how to reach them by ferry’ – the newspaper praises Guernsey’s beauty and tranquillity.

It adds: ‘The smaller, more sedate of the two principal Channel Islands crams a great deal into its 24 square miles, from towering sea cliffs in the south to the bays and beaches sweeping up the west coast and soft rural interior of hedgerows, granite cottages and Neolithic sites.’

And any Jersey resident scrolling down the list is likely to be disappointed, as the Island is sadly absent.

The Isle of Wight was placed second, while the Isles of Scilly came in third. Lundy – a tiny island home to little else than a big puffin population – was fourth and the Isle of Man was fifth.

Skye was ranked sixth, followed by Barra in the Outer Hebrides, Mull, Orkney and Fair Isle.
