Other things to note Guernsey & Other Things to Note Our holiday home Le Foulon House is perfectly positioned. Walk, run, or cycle directly from the property, explore the countryside, or enjoy the sea with swimming, paddleboarding, or kayaking. Wildlife enthusiasts will spot seals, seabirds, dolphins or even shoals of tuna along the coast. Fishing and crabbing are popular local pastimes, and early morning coastal walks offer peaceful starts to the day. Cycling. Bicycling down endless ‘route tranquil’ takes you past fields of Guernsey cows, fortifications from the Romans to WW2 and numerous hedge veg stops (it’s a Guernsey thing – buy your eggs, vegetables, flowers from a hedge mounted box on the road side and leave the money, an honour system that works wonderfully). Guernsey’s 27 beaches & bays, and the coastal paths are ideal for relaxation, or you can simply unwind in the garden, enjoy the pool, or fire up the barbecue. St Peter Port is within walking/cycling distance (take one of the e-bikes), and offers vibrant shops, cafés, restaurants, markets, the Guernsey street music festival and historic streets to explore. The harbour is lively, and the friendly local community makes everyone feel welcome and at home. Candie Gardens and Saumarez Park have various events on throughout the year. The annual Guernsey Literary Festival is a ‘must attend’ as are the evening cinema at Castle Cornet - the castle that dominates St Peter Port harbour. There is motor racing at the go kart track (something we always do when in Guernsey), local soccer and rugby to watch (or participate in), choirs, table tennis club, and lots and lots of sea swimming. Shopping. There is no VAT/GST in Guernsey. St. Peter Port is delightful with a wide and varied range of charming local shops and some international ones. Parking in town is free. Food. For a modestly sized island Guernsey supports the most remarkable range of restaurants from great local pubs to Michelin starred restaurants to some of the best Cantonese Chinese food this side of Hong Kong. We would recommend you make any restaurant bookings as soon as possible. Locally produced food including a wide range of fresh seafood is available in some specialist shops around the island, in Waitrose and at the ‘hedge veg’ stops. Amazing unique island. If you have never been to this part of the world you will be very pleasantly surprised. It is simply quite an amazing unique place. Steeped in history, blessed by its geography, graced by its inhabitants. Enjoy.
