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 silent walking tour of ST PETER PORT - the capital of GUERNSEY Channel Islands
Hi everyone! In this video, I take you on a silent walking tour through the town centre of St Peter Port / Saint Peter Port, the capital of Guernsey. As Guernsey is one of the Channel Islands (together with Jersey) and the wider Bailiwick is a Crown Dependency (together with the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Isle of Man), I've added this to the 'British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies' playlist.
We start our walk near the hotel where I was staying and walk along the Grange through a residential neighbourhood. We will pass Elizabeth College, St James Church, Sunken Garden and St Paul's Garden before arriving in the town centre. We will see the High Street and several buildings and monuments including Town Church, the Donkey statue and Victor Hugo statue. The walk ends in the beautiful harbour area where we have a view of Castle Cornet.
This was taken on a Sunday morning when many of the shops were shut and a general lack of road and people traffic. When it is so quiet, one can really enjoy the architecture and the sounds of nature, and see things one would not normally see when there are loads of people around. It is also great for the mental health to do such a walk. So, come and enjoy this silent walk with me!

CRUISING TO GUERNSEY | British Channel Islands UK | Cruise Vlog #5
Guernsey is part of the British Channel Islands - a beautiful part of the UK - our cruise docked at St Peter Port and we...⬇ More Below ✈ Our 220 page guide on how to travel non-stop —
Quick recap — we're on our first cruise, departing with Princess Cruises on Sapphire Princess from Southampton UK. Today we arrived in St Peter Port, Guernsey, to explore our last cruise port.
Guernsey is in a unique spot in the UK, it's actually part of the British Channel Islands so is quite popular with various boat trips and cruise travel as well. We were pleasantly surprised with how welcoming, similar and yet so different Guernsey was to the other spots in the UK we've travelled.
Guernsey is one of those places we never really imagined we'd get the chance to travel, thankfully it was the last included stop on our cruise and we had the whole day to get lost, eat food and embrace the local good stuff ( aka cider ???? )
That's the last cruise vlog from our trip on Sapphire Princess with Princess Cruises.

Sky Princess - Western Europe - Day 7 - St Peter Port, Guernsey
Thank you for joining us as we continue our first ever cruise with Princess Cruises on the stunning Sky Princess. Our cruise was a 7 day trip around Western Europe calling at the ports of La Rochelle in France followed by the ports of Bilbao and La Coruna in northern Spain before heading to St Peter Port on the beautiful island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands on our way back to Southampton.
In this episode, following an amazing sunrise, we arrive at our final port of the cruise, St Peter Port in Guernsey. What a welcome from the local people who give voluntarily of their time to offer advice on what to do & see during your visit ashore. Once again, the weather was perfect and we spent a few hours wandering through the flower filled streets - we were lucky enough to be there during a street festival and there were lots of wonderful singers in various areas entertaining the visitors and locals.
We had a walk along the harbour towards Castle Cornet but as time was running away with us, we did not go inside - maybe on our next visit!! Walking out to the castle did give us some stunning views back towards Guernsey as well as out to sea where Sky Princess was waiting for us to return by tender boat.

A tour of St Peter Port Harbour, Guernsey
A tour of the historic harbour of St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey in the Channel Islands.
A harbour of sorts has been here since 1294. In those days sailing ships would have moored against the quay, or sea wall as it was, to load and unload goods. The whole area where the bus station is now, was reclaimed from the sea in 1854. There is a lot more historic facts on the video.
As you may see from my videos, I do quite a bit of filming at St. Peter Port harbour.

Kicking off the day with breakfast in St Peter Port, we took to the cliffs for an epic day out on Guernsey's coastline. Passing by sights such as the La Valette Bathing Pools, the Clarence Battery, and the fancy houses of Fort George, we began to fall in love with the peace and tranquillity that can be found just outside of Guernsey's busiest town.
After 3 hours of tough slog, we decided to head back into town to the Seafront Sunday markets in St Peter Port and finish off the day with some of Guernsey's best street food.
