DAY 1<br />
3PM – MARITIME MEMORIES<br />
Head along the coast to Guernsey Pearl and the Asterix<br />
Wreck. Here you will find locally cultured pearls and<br />
jewellery, while next door lies Guernsey's Roman ship –<br />
believed to be one of only two of its type surviving. Just<br />
across the road you can discover more about those<br />
who have lost their lives at sea at the Fort Grey<br />
Shipwreck Museum.<br />
10AM – EXPLORING THE COBBLES<br />
Start with a wander around the narrow lanes of St<br />
Peter Port, home to many of Guernsey’s fascinating<br />
museums, including Castle Cornet which has guarded<br />
the island for 800 years. Continue inland to Hauteville<br />
House, where you can follow in the footsteps of French<br />
author, Victor Hugo. He fell in love with the island<br />
after moving here in 1855 and wrote Les Misérables.<br />
6PM – AYE AYE CAPTAIN<br />
Venture back inland to Pirate Bay Adventure Golf –<br />
Guernsey’s new premier attraction. Based at The Golf<br />
Club at St Pierre Park Hotel, players tackle an array of<br />
challenges, including water and moving obstacles. Or<br />
why not try your hand at the state-of-the-art driving<br />
range with 14 floodlit and heated bays, as well as ball<br />
tracking table service from the nearby 19 Bar and Grill?<br />
1PM – FEELING PECKISH<br />
Stop off at the weekly farmers' market where you can<br />
pick up golden-yellow Guernsey butter, succulent steaks<br />
from the Meadow Court Farm stall and homemade<br />
Guernsey Gâche and biscuits. Or why not indulge in<br />
some locally-sourced cuisine at The Imperial Hotel?<br />
Nestled in the south-western part of Guernsey, knock<br />
back a glass of local Rocquettes cider while enjoying<br />
the hotel’s unbeatable views of Rocquaine Bay.<br />
8PM – WINE AND DINE<br />
For one of the newest additions on the local cuisine<br />
scene, head to The Slaughterhouse. As the name<br />
would suggest, it serves a whole host of delicious<br />
meat dishes, while there are also vegetarian and vegan<br />
options on its diverse menu. Housed in the island’s<br />
old slaughterhouse, on St Peter Port’s Castle Pier,<br />
it is a unique venue featuring two outdoor seating<br />
areas and bars, as well as an indoor restaurant.<br />
