Alderney Attractions
Alderney (pop. 2,100), most northerly of the Channel Islands and the least visited because of its remoteness, is only 4mi/6km long and 1mi/2km wide. Its economy is based on vegetable and flower growing as well as tourism. The almost treeless island has beautiful sandy bays between much indented cliffs and rugged tors.

The little town of St Anne, 1mi/1.6km from the harbor, dates from the 15th C. It has something of a French air, with cobbled streets, inns, snug looking pubs and shops.
St Anne has a mild climate, lots of sunshine and a picturesque harbor. Visitors can enjoy walking the cliffs, golfing, fishing and windsurfing
