I am lucky enough to be able to live in the beautiful Channel Island of Guernsey, which is so much more than just an offshore centre of finance. There is so much more to Guernsey as people who have visited here will testify.

Guernsey is an island rich in history dating back many centuries, surrounded by beautiful clean sandy beaches, friendly locals, an abundance of tiny country lanes bordered by grassy banks complete with flowers and plants growing over them, beautiful countryside, as well as reasonably priced hotel accommodation, frequently offering superb Guernsey sea views.

Don't dismiss Guernsey as anything less than a perfect holiday destination, as we are English speaking, have no VAT, no terrorism, little crime, lots of places to see and activities to partake in, a mild climate and great restaurants, (frequently with locally caught fresh fish on the menu).

With the current exchange rates being as bad as they are, more and more people are looking for ways to go on holiday and stretch their money further, and what better way to do this than to travel to an island like Guernsey as opposed to travelling abroad! In Guernsey we have our own pound notes, but they are the same value as English pound notes, in fact we even accept English currency in all of our retail outlets, hotels, restaurants etc. Our own notes are of equal denominations to the GBP so there is little room to be confused.

This hub is not written to tell you all the merits of Guernsey though, it is intended to actually show you the beauty of this island via pictures and images for you to judge for yourselves. Let me know what you think!

This is the second such hub I have displayed of Guernsey photographs and images, the first can be found if you click here.
