Guernsey Attractions
Guernsey (pop. 55,500) is only about half the size of Jersey but even more densely populated. The cliffs on the south coast rise to 270ft/82.5m, from where the land falls gradually away towards the north. The island's numerous restaurants, with a reputation for delectable cuisine from across Europe, have earned Guernsey the nickname "Gourmet Island".
