First impressions of ST PETER PORT - The capital of GUERNSEY Channel Islands
Hi everyone! In this video, I explore St Peter Port (or Saint Peter Port), the capital and largest town of Guernsey. Walking around St Peter Port was very special, especially after my recent visit to St Helier in Jersey, one of the other Channel Islands. This allowed me to draw comparisons between St Helier and St Peter Port which I briefly touch upon throughout the vlog in various parts.
The vlog starts off with me walking around the harbour. I immediately notice the statue of Albert the Prince Consort on a roundabout and the vast presence of flowers and flower beds around the city. I also notice a town church and the beautiful buildings near the harbour.
I walk towards Castle Cornet and notice the traffic and number of boats in the town. Getting to the castle was not easy and it was also shut due to it not being tourist season, but the walk itself was lovely. I mention along the way that I really like the pace and vibe of the town.
After exploring the area near the castle, I head back to town but stop for a bite to eat at a cafe in the harbour. I order a Guernsey Gache and give my feedback...
Back in town, I walk towards Liberation Square and notice several commemorative monuments and other related references to the liberation in 1945. Whilst having a patch of sunshine, I also visit the statue of Victor Hugo, the famous French writer who once lived in Guernsey.
I then head back to my hotel for a quick breather and show you my room. I then talk about the one pound (£1) note you find in Guernsey. Following this, I spot a map of the island in the reception and talk a little bit about the size of the island as well as St Peter Port's location in Guernsey.
After a brief stint at the hotel, I head back to town and visit another garden before exploring the shopping area including Main Street, Lefebvre Street and the North Pier Steps. I also talk about the Donkey Statue and visit the Market Buildings Inner Street Arcade and the Old Quarter.
The vlog ends with me having a final walk in the harbour area, where I also give my verdict on St Peter Port as a place to visit and how to get there from the United Kingdom.
I hope you enjoy this vlog - please give this video a like and subscribe to my channel if you haven't already! This really help my channel to grow which in turn means that I will be able to make more vlogs such as these for your enjoyment :)

A heady mix of stunning scenery and the best of contemporary living, Guernsey is the perfect destination. Inspiring walks along the cliff paths, rambles through the rural interior or lazy days on the island's beautiful beaches, Guernsey has it all.
St Peter Port, the island's capital, is a bustling harbour town, a tapestry of architectural styles that tell the story of the region's changing fortunes. Here bistros, restaurants and boutiques jostle for your attention, while in the harbour ferries are readied to take you to the sister islands.
Ask anyone who's been here. Guernsey is a special place, a thriving community that welcomes its visitors with open arms and leaves a lasting impression on all who set foot on her soil.
VisitGuernsey: Welcome To Guernsey
Nestling snugly in the bay of St Malo and 70 miles from mainland Britain, the Channel Island of Guernsey is a heady mix of French and British cultures. This collision of lifestyles has created a unique environment, where familiarity is tempered by the unexpected, but where you'll always feel welcome. It's a very special place, one that leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.
Here you'll discover a community that looks to the future for inspiration, but where traditional values still hold sway; where the influence of the Continent is keenly felt, but not to the extent that it dents an unwavering loyalty to the British Crown; and where the dynamism of the global finance industry sits easily alongside centuries old traditions.
Of course for many people, it's the scenery that makes Guernsey so special. And it's easy to see why. Our cliffs, coves and commons provide a real treat for walkers and the abundance and variety of our floral heritage will inspire you. Plus there are the sister islands of Herm, Sark and Alderney to explore.

Walking through Guernsey. Amazing Cute Wonderful Town - Guernsey UK - ECTV
Guernsey (/ˈɡɜːrnzi/ (listen); Guernésiais: Guernési) is an island in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy that is part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, a British Crown Dependency.
It is the second largest of the Channel Islands, an island group roughly north of Saint-Malo and west of the Cotentin Peninsula. The jurisdiction consists of ten parishes on the island of Guernsey, three other inhabited islands (Herm, Jethou and Lihou), and many small islets and rocks.
It is not part of the United Kingdom, although defence and some aspects of international relations are managed by the UK. Although the bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey are often referred to collectively as the Channel Islands, the Channel Islands are not a constitutional or political unit. Jersey has a separate relationship to the Crown from the other Crown dependencies of Guernsey and the Isle of Man, although all are held by the monarch of the United Kingdom.[5]
The island has a mixed British-Norman culture, although British cultural influence is stronger, with English being the main language and the Pound sterling its primary currency. The island has a traditional local language known as Guernésiais.
The island's name, Guernsey, like that of neighbouring Jersey, is of Old Norse origin. The second element of each word, -ey, is the Old Norse for island,[6] while the original root, guern(s), is of uncertain origin and meaning, possibly deriving from either a personal name such as Grani or Warinn, or from gron, meaning pine tree.[7]
Previous names for the Channel Islands vary over history, but include the Lenur islands,[8] and Sarnia; Sarnia is the Latin name for Guernsey, or Lisia (Guernsey) and Angia (Jersey).
History
Main article: History of Guernsey
See also: Maritime history of the Channel Islands, Archaeology of the Channel Islands, and German occupation of the Channel Islands
Early history
Around 6000 BCE, rising seas created the English Channel and separated the Norman promontories that became the bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey from continental Europe.[9] Neolithic farmers then settled on its coast and built the dolmens and menhirs found in the islands today, providing evidence of human presence dating back to around 5000 BCE.[10]
Evidence of Roman settlements on the island, and the discovery of amphorae from the Herculaneum area and Spain, show evidence of an intricate trading network with regional and long-distance trade.[11] Buildings found in La Plaiderie, St Peter Port dating from 100 to 400 CE appear to be warehouses.[12] The earliest evidence of shipping was the discovery of a wreck of a ship in St Peter Port harbour, which has been named Asterix. It is thought to be a 3rd-century Roman cargo vessel and was probably at anchor or grounded when a fire broke out.[13] Travelling from the Kingdom of Gwent, Saint Sampson, later the abbot of Dol in Brittany, is credited with the introduction of Christianity to Guernsey.[14]
Middle Ages
In 933, the Cotentin Peninsula including Avranchin which included the islands, were placed by the French King Ranulf under the control of William I. The island of Guernsey and the other Channel Islands represent the last remnants of the medieval Duchy of Normandy.[14] In 1204, when King John lost the continental portion of the Duchy to Philip II of France, the islands remained part of the kingdom of England.[15] The islands were then recognised by the 1259 Treaty of Paris as part of Henry III's territories.[16]
During the Middle Ages, the island was a haven for pirates that would use the lamping technique to ground ships close to the island. This intensified during the Hundred Years War, when, starting in 1339, the island was occupied by the Capetians on several occasions.[14] The Guernsey Militia was first mentioned as operational in 1331 and would help defend the island for a further 600 years.[17]
In 1372, the island was invaded by Aragonese mercenaries under the command of Owain Lawgoch (remembered as Yvon de Galles), who was in the pay of the French king. Owain and his dark-haired mercenaries were later absorbed into Guernsey legend as invading fairies from across the sea.[18]
