Channel Islands Attractions

 
The Channel Islands (French name: Iles Normandes) attract over half a million British vacationers every year. They lie in the Gulf of St Malo, at distances of between 10 and 30mi/16 and 48km from the French coast.

Alderney, the island nearest to Great Britain, is by contrast 50mi/80km from the English coast. The largest of these "dependent territories" directly under the control of the Crown, is Jersey, followed in order of size by Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm, Jethou and a number of tiny uninhabited islets and clusters of rocks.

Although each of the islands has its own character, they all have one thing in common, the mildness of their climate.
