Just a note to say the Martello towers were built to protect against the French. Guernsey has sided with the English crown since the 13th century, as part of Normandy guernsey actually invaded England. Although guernsey sided with the parliamentarians in the English Civil War. Anyway yeh Sarnia Cherie
Fantastic representation of our beautiful island Alex, but there is so much more to the Bailiwick of Guernsey as we have idyllic other islands too, like Herm, with no cars or even bikes. The amazing Sark, again no cars but tractors, bikes and horse-drawn carriages (a real step back in time). Also the tiny island of Lihou, which is only accessible at low tide via a causeway. Alderney too with stunning natural beauty. Please come back soon to be amazed? 👍💖😎
Alex Outhwaite thank you, we are rightfully proud of our ‘Sarnia Cherie’ Gem of the Sea (Sarnia is the old Latin name) Our unofficial national anthem: Sarnia; dear Homeland, Gem of the sea. Island of beauty, my heart longs for thee. Thy voice calls me ever, in waking, or sleep, Till my soul cries with anguish, my eyes ache to weep. In fancy I see thee, again as of yore, Thy verdure clad hills and thy wave beaten shore. Thy rock sheltered bays, ah; of all thou art best, I'm returning to greet thee, dear island of rest. CHORUS Sarnia Cherie. Gem of the sea. Home of my childhood, my heart longs for thee. Thy voice calls me ever, forget thee I'll never, Island of beauty. Sarnia Cherie. I left thee in anger, I knew not thy worth. Journeyed afar, to the ends of the earth. Was told of far countries, the heav'n of the bold, Where the soil gave up diamonds, silver and gold. The sun always shone, and "race" took no part, But thy cry always reached me, its pain wrenched my heart. So I'm coming home, thou of all art the best. Returning to greet thee, dear island of rest. CHORUS
Was on Herm a few weeks ago. Have to say the cliff walks yield some of the most gorgeous views I've seen. And beaches stunning. Have visited Sark too. You are so lucky to live on Guernsey Nigel.
Saint Peter Port Is A Cool Name,and I’m American So I Love How France Helped America Against England Even Though It Is Known2Me That I’m Part English Cuz I Live In A Very Diverse Country So I Like Other Languages Like The Languages Of German,French,Spanish,Italian,Greek,Chinese,and Japanese!!!!!🇺🇸🇯🇲🇬🇧🇮🇪🇩🇪🇨🇭 🇬🇬🇯🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹🇬🇷🇨🇳🇹🇼🇭🇰🇸🇬🇯🇵🇰🇵🇰🇷 🇵🇰🇮🇳🇯🇴🇪🇬🇲🇦🇹🇳🇪🇭🇳🇬🇩🇯🇹🇿🇳🇦🇸🇿🇿🇦
Mahbub2012 New if you mean you want a job in guernsey, it is possible however unless you are a local, the prices of living accommodations are very expensive and even a tiny cottage could cost like a million pounds
😮 All the people’s are there milliners? Then ordinary people's where's they live, On the footpaths? I m a simple man but that was a big dream about UK, I m sorry 😞.
I never get tired of watching these videos showing what our little island has to offer. I’m so glad you had a great time and I really hope you come back to see more!
We are probably all guilty of not noticing how lucky we are living somewhere. I know I should spend more time exploring closer to home as well! Thanks for watching
This really shows off our little island beautifully! Thank you for drawing some more attention to it, not many people know we’re here and we very much depend on the tourism ☺️
Spent many holidays in Guernsey in the 1960s & 1970s - fabulous place with fabulous, friendly people. Miss it so much, must go back again before I pop off.
Great little video, thankyou for this. So many people even in the UK have never heard of Guernsey which is sad. I was born here and have lived here all my life. I'm proud of this island and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Sad to see a few comments from Guernsey folk complaining about our lovely home. But I'm glad you enjoyed your visit here, hope you'll be back. 🙂
I got a job there about 6 years ago the job was advertised on the international section which I thought was quite funny. I was a bus driver and I loved driving round the beautiful island especially seeing vazon, cobo and pliemont. The guernsey people were very very friendly.
I lived on the lovely Island of Jersey for 24 years before moving to Spain. I have visited Guernsey about six times and it doesn't have the hustle and bustle of Jersey. Its a much slower pace of life which is what I liked about the Island. Jersey has fabulous beeches also.
Thank you for this video. It came up on my feed. I'm from Guernsey but now live in Cyprus. I loved your appreciation of this beautiful place. There is so much more for you to explore. The history is amazing for such a small place. And the Guernsey people are unique. They love their island. A very friendly lot! 😊
@@marianneburden5954 Marianne Burden Good Morning 🙏🏻 Thanks for your reply.

Tikendra Singh ok, since you are not from Guernsey , living accommodation will cost quite a lot so you need to sort out that, I would suggest looking for a place near st Peters Port because that is where the majority of jobs are. What I would recommend is going on Job Centre-States of Guernsey to see openings once this whole quarantine thing is sorted out because most businesses are closed currently. Once quarantine is over and you have found something, book a holiday cottage or air B and B (sorry if I spelt it wrong ) and stay there for the interviews. It won't matter where your staying, because everything on the island is a 30 minute drive maximum. You can easily take the bus which is cheap or hire a rental car from the airport. If you wanted to stay in a holiday cottage, you would have to book quite far in advance because the fill up quick but there are always plenty of air B and B available. Once you are there though, to make the most of your trip I recommend going on the beaches since they are always quiet and great for rock pooling, Aladins Cave if you want to buy something (it's the biggest shop in Guernsey) and there are plenty of cafes and restaurants, especially in St Peters Port. I hope this helped and good luck 🙂
Thanks for posting this video - I live here in Guernsey and it’s a truly beautiful island with stunning beaches & coastal views, such a great place to live 🏝
My HOMELAND.... Good Old GUERNSEY....... Tho I've been out of the Island for almost 20 years now.... There will also be a SOFT SPOT IN MY BLACKENED HEART for GUERNSEY..... DONKEYS RULE....
I went here already aged 37 flying from St Brieuc just 60 miles south. And even before landing I just thought by watching the islands from the large windows of the Aurigny trislander, how on Earth hadn't I come here before.?? It was in 1997. And ironically 27 years before I had had the opportunity with my sister to fly from St Brieuc to Jersey via Dinard. My mother, teacher in a primary school couldn't profit from the day trip she had won in June 1970. . . .
Amazing vídeo Alex I really loved this vlog. I've never heard about Guersney before. I liked the stores at the streets and the wonderful deserts beaches with those epic drone views 👌🌍 Great job my friend. Keep traveling ✊
My whole family on my mums side including my mum come from here and I visit it so much and know so many people there that it's practically a second home. Restaurant recommendation is Crabby Jacks. It was my childhood the most excited I ever was was when we stayed at the holiday cottages right next to it
Wow!! Quite the extraordinary place. So peaceful & quiet, one can certainly go and have their mind & soul refresh. Also I agree, It is the Unique chapel for sure. Btw Amazing vlog & mind blowing ariel shots.😍💖👍
Never seen a pound note before! :) We actually introduced pound coins in Guernsey before the UK did, back in 1981. It was a novelty for people in the UK to see a pound coin, when I showed them a Guernsey £1 coin. But the UK withdrew its pound notes from circulation in 1988, whereas we have kept them in Guernsey as well as the coins.
Just back from a Channel Islands tour and your review has shown us how much we missed in Guernsey. It's definitey on our revisit list now! Thanks for a really great video Alex.
So glad you liked my hometown! If you ever come back... go to Port soif beach at hightide and venture down into the rural parishes in the south - they're like a fairytale. There are 2 monuments around the island called grand-mère de chaumière (or similar) which were built around the time of the Egyptian pyramids!
Hi there just seen your video of Guernsey,I live here and just like to say well done and a great video of he island,you showed a lot of great places,thanks for putting it out there,pound notes are much better than pound coins haha to heavy if you have to many in your pocket haha.
Marvelous Vlog ! Wow! All I can say that the drones are only made to capture such incredibly beautiful places like this place! Wonderful! Totally Wonderful! 😊 I really enjoyed the vlog and I want to admire the facts that you captures all of colors or shades of the sky! I love how precious the changing colors of the sky ! Wow! The beautiful place! Great job my dear star Alexandra Outhwaite 👸
Pretty darn good vlog Alex especially as you only had one day but packed in all the goodies " beaches . . Gardens . . and a very cute Chappell . . But man the size of that ice cream it was nearly bigger than you 🤣🤣🤣
Good stuff. Loved Guernsey, my great great grandmother came from Guernsey. She and her parents moved to Australia in the mid 1800s. We saw their former house in "The Pollet" (now a Tapas Bar) and the graves of ancestors and relatives in The Vale cemetery. Nice video, good colour. What are you using, Alex, OSMO original or Pocket or something else ? Did you guys shoot your own drone aerials , they looked great.
Alex Outhwaite it really is! We that live here, take it for granted! There isn’t much to do but atleast we are able to take a short walk to the beaches, which most people in the world cannot do!
First as you can see I’m not from here but I’m living here for 18 years and I love this place. Very nice environment and very safe relaxed friendly. When you talking about the price of the rent or to buy a Properties here we have local market and open market. That right it’s very expensive for outsiders because if the island let everyone come and living here it will destroy everything what you can see in this video. Will build and build the houses tall buildings and don’t forget Guernsey very small island will end up like Living in small room! with so many people! For local living here they can’t build anything in the green zone the government very strict about that. The cost of living here is inexpensive if you compare to others cities. quality of life is much better . I have been living in Hong Kong even my hometown Bangkok I don’t like it at all. So busy Loud noise very day life is Exhausted. Some people said is boring, it might be if you are a city person like to go out at night or want to do a lot of activity because over here Are limited. The island have nature sea beaches cliff walking ,History of war the best thing is Guernsey have a very fresh air!😆😆😆😂😂😂
Make absolutely sure you visit Herm. Absolutely stunning cliff walk. Beaches gorgeous. Sark is fantastic too. Both easy to get to. Ferries from St Peter Port.
I have been in Guernsey with my family we came there by a cruise ship a few years ago in summer.Everything was so beatiful and the castle was pretty fine ... At the end of our time there i was feeding pigeons peacefully then a boy around my age(teen) showed up with his skateboard (his hair was blonde and his eyes were blue or green i guess because i didnt look his face directly)as he passing me he said "Hi" and winked at me?XD And he sat down of the opposite bench with (his friends?)And he didn't stop staring at me.. I wasn't expecting such a thing like this xDD ı was really suprised as a foreign girl lol... At that moment i be like in inside 😳 wut the- and my dad who saw that scene was like 👁️👄👁️ (I wonder what is he doing now also i am curious of if i go Guernsey again would he remember me 😹🙈) 😹Anyways thank you for reading a memory of mine^^
BTW Alex it sounds like you missed out on the world's best beach cafe called...The Beach Cafe in Fermain Bay just up from St Peters Port...maybe next time
Did you not how low the tide was? Thing is, we have such a fast tide that we always say you can tell who's a foreigner by the fact that they're halfway down the beach and bound to get their stuff washed away.
We used the buses on Guernsey quite a lot 3 weeks ago. Very cheap, didnt pay more then £2. Roads are VERY narrow for the buses though. Cars are forced to drive onto the pavement to get round them.
@@El_Smeghead Ha... I do wonder why the authorities allowed such big busses. You would think that if cars are forced to drive on pavements due to the busses, that it would be quite clear there was an issue.
@@El_Smeghead Yep, was on plenty where the busses had to do the same. I must say the bus drivers were very friendly. There was only one that was stroppy. Had him a few times. Was quite amusing. Overall Guernsey folk seem friendlier than here in the UK.
The route 4 was on diversion here, so as a passenger I filmed the route it took. At 14secs in you can see a car mounting pavement, and some other tricky manoeuvres throughout the video. ua-cam.com/video/ucSGyxQkwmU/v-deo.html

Grew up on Guernsey... It's weird to see it in a travel video! Makes you realise how much you take for granted when you live in a place like that.
Totally agree! I grew up in York and totally took how nice it was for granted!

Journeyed afar, to the ends of the earth.

@@harrybough8004 wow small world indeed!! Hope you'll subscribe:)
nice to see someone from a cruise ship going to west coast rather than just staying in town
My style of travel is usually backpacking and the cruise was quite unusual for me so I wanted to see as much of the island as I could in a day!
I totally agree! Tourists only get a small piece of what our island has to offer.
I live in Guernsey. Love this video, glad you like the Island
Thanks for watching Martin
I never get tired of watching these videos showing what our little island has to offer. I’m so glad you had a great time and I really hope you come back to see more!

Bethan Batiste was there in late April. Beautiful
Been to Guernsey 5 times. Much better than Jersey. Been to Herm and Sark.

Don’t go to Guernsey, go to Alderney instead. I guarantee you will like it more.
heathersyer also on the list :)
I saw you recording the intro in St Peter Port
Love this!!! Your shots are amazing which camera are you using? From a very proud Sarnian🇬🇬🇬🇬🇬🇬🇬🇬🇬🇬

Im writing a book based in Guernsey so this has helped me out a lot!
Oh lovely!! Best of luck with your book:)
@@AlexOuthwaite Thank you x
This is amazing 👍. Keep vlogging!
No hate at all but we pronounce Vason as in vah-son rather than vay-son
Anna Wessels Ah, but how do you pronounce Willamette? Or better yet, Puyallup? (No fair for Washington residents to answer)
Ampersandrascott i believe we pronounce it like Puyallup might i am not sure and I agree not fair
Miss this place!
I can just see 1 beautiful in whole video!
Went there for 8 nights last year, going back for 12 this year.
Beautiful Alex beautiful smile.
Very Nice 👍🏼,

Danniel Chick née!
I was just scrolling through the comments then I realised ik you 😂
I’m from Guernsey
Amazing
First as you can see I’m not from here but I’m living here for 18 years and I love this place. Very nice environment and very safe relaxed friendly. When you talking about the price of the rent or to buy a Properties here we have local market and open market. That right it’s very expensive for outsiders because if the island let everyone come and living here it will destroy everything what you can see in this video. Will build and build the houses tall buildings and don’t forget Guernsey very small island will end up like Living in small room! with so many people! For local living here they can’t build anything in the green zone the government very strict about that. The cost of living here is inexpensive if you compare to others cities. quality of life is much better . I have been living in Hong Kong even my hometown Bangkok I don’t like it at all. So busy Loud noise very day life is Exhausted. Some people said is boring, it might be if you are a city person like to go out at night or want to do a lot of activity because over here Are limited. The island have nature sea beaches cliff walking ,History of war the best thing is Guernsey have a very fresh air!😆😆😆😂😂😂
Such fresh air and the beaches are incredible!
Thanks Alex,Going for the First time on july 22.Hope the Weather is as kind to us as it was for You!!!
Ohhh enjoy!!
Make absolutely sure you visit Herm. Absolutely stunning cliff walk. Beaches gorgeous.
Sark is fantastic too. Both easy to get to. Ferries from St Peter Port.
Love from karachi 😍😍
Both channel islands are beautiful
I want to visit beautiful island cheers from Massachusetts 👍
I live in Guernsey and honestly this is more appealing than the actual video to promote Guernsey, shame you didn’t go up to west of the island
Appreciate you watching it! I hope to be back to explore some more!
You should visit sark 😊
My house is in the video lol
I Will go some day i promise
Beatiful girl video AND place💟
I have been in Guernsey with my family we came there by a cruise ship a few years ago in summer.Everything was so beatiful and the castle was pretty fine ... At the end of our time there i was feeding pigeons peacefully then a boy around my age(teen) showed up with his skateboard (his hair was blonde and his eyes were blue or green i guess because i didnt look his face directly)as he passing me he said "Hi" and winked at me?XD And he sat down of the opposite bench with (his friends?)And he didn't stop staring at me.. I wasn't expecting such a thing like this xDD ı was really suprised as a foreign girl lol...
At that moment i be like in inside 😳 wut the- and my dad who saw that scene was like 👁️👄👁️
(I wonder what is he doing now also i am curious of if i go Guernsey again would he remember me 😹🙈)
😹Anyways thank you for reading a memory of mine^^
I’m a local and I’m so glad you had a good time! Just one things it’s St Peter Port not St Peters Port
Yes someone already commented this...noted!! Thanks for watching:)
It's cause the Channel Islands has it's own currency the other place that's similar is the Isle of Man
not different currency it's still sterling but use different notes
BTW Alex it sounds like you missed out on the world's best beach cafe called...The Beach Cafe in Fermain Bay just up from St Peters Port...maybe next time
I live near town were you were lol
Did you not how low the tide was? Thing is, we have such a fast tide that we always say you can tell who's a foreigner by the fact that they're halfway down the beach and bound to get their stuff washed away.
I wasn't sunbathing I was simply walking on the beach!
🇬🇬
Superb video
We used the buses on Guernsey quite a lot 3 weeks ago. Very cheap, didnt pay more then £2. Roads are VERY narrow for the buses though. Cars are forced to drive onto the pavement to get round them.
I drove the Guernsey buses for 2 years. Nightmare!
@@El_Smeghead
Ha... I do wonder why the authorities allowed such big busses. You would think that if cars are forced to drive on pavements due to the busses, that it would be quite clear there was an issue.
@@martinw245 Don't forget that buses are also forced onto the pavement due to cars too. It depends which side the kerb is on.
@@El_Smeghead
Yep, was on plenty where the busses had to do the same. I must say the bus drivers were very friendly. There was only one that was stroppy. Had him a few times. Was quite amusing. Overall Guernsey folk seem friendlier than here in the UK.
The route 4 was on diversion here, so as a passenger I filmed the route it took. At 14secs in you can see a car mounting pavement, and some other tricky manoeuvres throughout the video. ua-cam.com/video/ucSGyxQkwmU/v-deo.html
You should come to Utah!
I would love to
