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.
