About Alderney ...

... the most northerly of the Channel Islands.

Alderney is the third largest and most northerly of the Channel Islands measuring just three miles long by one and a half miles wide. Situated approximately 60 miles from Britain and 7 miles from France, the island enjoys a mild climate and a slower pace of life, with an abundance of beautiful beaches, breathtaking walks and an ancient and varied history.

The charming town of St. Anne has a notable French flair and features an attractive array of cobbled streets providing a wide variety of individual shops, bars, restaurants, banks and shops. Well-connected with direct scheduled air links from the UK, Alderney has its own airport and harbour.

With over 50 miles of walks and paths taking you across clifftops, beaches and around town, the best way to discover Alderney is on foot. There is much to discover while walking around the island and the scenery is simply spectacular with the dramatic cliffs on the south coast dotted with Victorian and German fortifications, the fabulous sandy beaches and promentaries sprinkled with Victorian forts and bunkers along the north and east coasts and the bird sanctuary island of Burhou off to the north west.

The ‘Round Island Boat Trips’ are highly recommended and most informative as the crew share their knowledge of ornithology and the history of the Island, including tales of Alderney's many shipwrecks.

The Alderney golf course is a 9-hole course with alternate tees, which add distance and variety to each hole, making it an overall, challenging 18-hole course. The natural hazards of the course call for additional skills and, at certain times, the wind factor can test the most competent of golfers. The course is one of the most scenic and testing golf courses in the Channel Islands with the superb views flitting between the English Channel and the nearby French coast as you complete the course.
