48 HOURS<br />
IN GUERNSEY<br />
Guernsey typically wows visitors with its<br />
breathtaking natural beauty, tranquil pace<br />
of life and rich history. Stunning beaches<br />
and bays line its rugged shores, yachts<br />
rock at anchor in its picturesque harbours,<br />
and its fascinating history has shaped<br />
the island’s landscape. Just a short flight<br />
from London, and with direct routes to<br />
other major UK airports, it is the perfect<br />
location for a short break. At just 24 square<br />
miles, you can fit a lot into 48 hours.<br />
