The small island of Alderney measures just 3.5 miles long and 1.5 miles wide, and yet it is absolutely TEEMING with fascinating history, beautiful wildlife, and incredible views. As the best-hidden island in the Channel Islands, we didn't know what to expect in our weekend break in Alderney, however, this tiny island soon turned into one of our favourite places in the world.

Thanks for this looking at Alderney as an option.
I think you should have gone aboard the mannez quarry to Braye road railway line
@@harrys_railway we wanted to do that one so bad! Unfortunately we couldn’t get the timing organised with our other activities so missed out 😟 next time for sure! Thanks for the suggestion 😁
Well you did miss the Odeon which is on the cliff by the railway. It's very cool and it's history is very interesting. Also scattered around the island are hundreds of bunkers from ww2. And just before the golf course there's a little foot path and hidden on the footpath is a cave which the Germans used in ww2. It's not directly on the footpath its on the side. Thank you.
Lovely stuff everything crossed we can return this summer!!
We are so glad you enjoyed it! Fingers crossed!
Loved this trip!! What a beautiful island
Love Alderney! What a beautiful island 😍

We absolutely loved it there too! Would love to go back one day 😁
Another great vid from the both of you, with good links and info. Alderney looks like worth a trip.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Thank you very much for the wonderful video and the view of the wonderful island
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Great video, how funny that the intro song is the song I used on my Alderney week 2019 video
Great taste! haha Thanks for watching!
Subbed. i started my passion for photography and actually sold my first photo from there on Alderney back 31 years ago i need to go back and explore. id certainly be making a youtube video of it
That is very cool! It is such a beautiful place so I'm sure you got LOADS of beautiful photos. Thanks for watching
Nice video, Like 7 and Bye from Italy :)
Thanks 😁
Really enjoyed your video of Alderney and remember the little planes at Guernsey airport going to Alderney. Some good tips to enhance any visit there and the veggie meals looked delish.
Glad it was helpful! The planes are hilarious haha Thanks for watching
Thank you both it was a real pleasure to accompany you on your visit. Looks like the boat trip went well and thanks for showing the island off at it's best!, oh and Gemma your pronunciations is great but the white is definately a lot of poo, plus 11,000 birds :)
We are so grateful for your tme and energy Roland! I hope your trip to and from the UK was a smooth one. Please send our thanks to the whole team at Alderney WT for all their hard work
Spent many a holiday here and it is truely wonderful. Hasn’t changed since I visited 50 years ago. Fantastic video. Thank you.
Such a beautiful part of the world! This island was so welcoming and friendly to us, we loved our trip 😁❤️
I love Aldeney , I've been every year since 1994 except 2020 when we couldn't travel. Done 40-45 trips in total .I love the fishing there.
Beautiful island isn’t it 😁
Nicely filmed! I'm in Guernsey, been here 12 months. Will certainly be visiting Alderney soon.
Thank you very much Martin 😁 Guernsey is beautiful but Alderney is amazing too 😁
Great vid guys. Been watching you throughout the government lockdowns really enjoyed your content and the quality of the filming is getting better each time :-) thanks
Really appreciate that 😁 thanks for watching!!
Alderney is a mile long and half a mile wide. Its possible to walk everywhere.
Been there many times with the rn , used to go to the divers pub and seaview hotel.
It featured in tbe eagle has landed, if you remember that. Both the airstrip and harbour and pubs.
Alderney has one of the most tidal waters in the world changes 50 ft in 4 hours.
Beautiful island! 😁
It's 3 miles by 1 and a half miles. Get your facts right.
@@Chief_Brody
Dont know much do you, was it out of a book
Alderney not really changed since I left there in 2001. Have some great memories of the lovely island. 1st time seeing The Blonde Hedgehog, looks amazing.
Lost in time which is why we love it 😁
2 Pax, two days on an island in Spring and those bags you both had were like.... 😆
Haha we love to pack heavy.. 😂 we actually went for a week so we had to pack a little bit more for the trip 😁
Wow Alderney looks stunning. Love the quality of your videos. I look forward to seeing more especially when you come back to Scotland.
Thank you so much! We can't wait to share more of scotland on this channel! Thanks for watching
Nice to see you are checking out all the islands whilst in Guernsey, doesnt look like the airport has changed much lol, or the plane ride, if you want to try another island with warmer waters come to the Cayman Islands,
Couldn’t leave without completing the Bailiwick 😁 and that would be nice haha water might be a bit warmer!!
the video is made beautifully. Keep doing guys.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that. Hope you enjoyed the beauty of Alderney, we wish we could go back again one day
I remember seeing you both at Alderney wee airport checking in what a great video and fantastic island 👍
Small island haha thanks for watching!!
Such a beautiful island ♥️ and loved seeing your travels. Subbed!
Thank you so much, we are really glad you enjoyed watching our video 😁 Alderney is a really beautiful island!
What a great video! I've always wanted to go to Alderney and this just makes me want to visit more. Thanks for the upload. 😀
thank you so much! we loved it, it is a fascinating place
Holiday blues!! Boat tour looked wild haha
Haha I wasn’t scared at all..
I’ve never even heard of Alderney before now but defo going to put it on the list. Happy bday Gemma for next week 🎉 such a great video and you are brave for going for a swim. Lordy lordyyy haha
We are so happy you liked it 😁 thanks for watching!! Haha brave or stupid? 😂
@@highlands2hammocks hmm Lordy Lordy that’s all I will say 😂
Fantastic video guys!
Thank you 😁😁
Alderney is a tranquil paradise ✨️ my ancestors home
It's one of our favourite places for sure 😁
Finally got the time to watch this video and you guys are never disappoint with amazing places. That bell tower was just super amazing, the Gannet Rock is spectacular and I cannot even imagine how this trip must have felt like... one thing that stood out to me the most is the sense of "normality" that you guys happened to experience which is waiting for us all here in the mainland. Such a great island, such an amazing place and I cannot stress enough that the quality of your videos are getting better and more cinematic now... kudos to you both. ;)
Thanks for watching mate!! Yeah it was so amazing to be able to “travel” again, somewhere different and exciting. Looking forward to more in future. Thanks again man!
Team H2H, love your channel. Alderney appears to have a raw beauty that reminds me of Block Island or Nantucket. My girlfriend and I are based in Flordia but hope to relocate to Guernsey in a few years. Will be hiking and biking Hadrian’s Wall next May for my 50th birthday and then a week with all my cousins who live in St. Albans north of London. The plan was to head to Guernsey for two weeks after that in June (2022) and rent a house. But now seeing this video do we manage the additional travel and rent in Alderney instead?
Now you mention it there are similarities with Nantucket...
Wow we have never been there but that is interesting! I would suggest spending a couple of days over here at least, just to see it for yourself. Maybe two weeks here would. be too long, but two weeks in Guernsey would allow you to hop around the other islands too!
I was living in jersey for 5 years and loved it sad though couldn't visit St Anne
Its such an incredible island! Loved our time here
It's funny. A lot of us islanders rarely travel to the other islands. Especially us from Jersey and some from Guernsey. I went to Guernsey once as a kid. I'd like to revisit Sark for night time photography one day. The one I want to go to is Herm with its interesting beach on the North side.
Yeah its always the same, your own back garden is the last place we tend to explore! Sark is amazing for night photography! And herm is amazing as well
@@highlands2hammocks Just watching a few of your videos. Have you popped across to Jersey yet? Overall probably many similar characteristics, but there are plenty of gems to be found over here. Also, authentic Jersey milk :)
@@naycnay that was next in the list but because of lockdown we just didn’t have time unfortunately.. leaving guernsey next week so maybe sometime in the future!
ik alderney is amazing i go there every year
We can’t wait to go back again!
@@highlands2hammocks i know its so cool and the beaches are the best!
@@highlands2hammocks and thanks for replying :)
We
lived there for 24 years.
Beautiful place!
Lovely. W have decided to move to Alderney instead. Property cheaper and the closest to Utopia?? Hopefully.
Best of luck with your move! Do you have a date yet?
@@highlands2hammocks no no date yet. Crypto even though down has done well for us and is doing so, `passive income`. So nearly there in that respect. Hard to plan anything as you know. fingers crossed this year.....
That room is definitely not "rustc".
Okay ☺️
ALDERNEY - THE LAND OF FOOLS!
