About the Bailiwick of Guernsey
Guernsey, and its sister island of Alderney, are located in the English Channel, 50km off the north-west coast of France and 120km from the southern English coast. Herm Island, Sark Island and Lihou are also part of 'The Bailiwick of Guernsey' so we have a total of five beautiful islands for you to call home.
The Bailiwick of Guernsey is self-governing and self-funding, and is known for 'punching above its weight' in terms of the quality of life it offers. The islands are welcoming, safe and peaceful. With a population of around 63,000, you will quickly get to know our supportive community, and you'll be pleasantly surprised by how easy it can be to travel between sweeping bays, clifftop viewpoints and our historical harbour town, in a short space of time. You will be able to enjoy cliff walking, sea swimming, island hopping, al fresco dining, sports clubs, a full calendar of local events, and some of the best sunsets around.
You can discover more about each island here or head over to locateguernsey.com which has detailed information about making the move to island life. Or before you go into that detail, you might enjoy this video to see why we think our islands are so beautiful. And with an average 20 minute commute islanders are never far from from the beach!
Getting Here
There are regular flights and ferries between the UK and Guernsey. Gatwick Airport and Southampton are two of the many airports that you can fly from, and flights can take as little as 40 minutes.
