Spent many a childhood holiday in Guernsey, personally I love the place. It's got some lovely beaches, and plenty of wartime stuff to explore - lots of bunkers/fortifications etc. St Peter Port is a nice quaint town, the creperie always used to be worth a visit.

The British hillclimb championship visits there every summer (July this year: http://www.top12runoff.co.uk/) which should be spectacular - I've cycled the route many times and it's a killer on a bike at least. There's often sand racing at Vazon bay on the west side of the island.

Climate is usually pretty good, more like France than England funnily enough :lol:

Alternatively, France is on your doorstep and there are always the other islands to explore...

I agree with Jamie I was there 20 years ago and it was a lovely wee island. If you get the chance go watch the sand racing it is great. Driving is very slow I seem to remember though. 8)
