Picturesque country roads can be found throughout Guernsey. What makes this spot a highlight?

Why, oh why is the view of the airport a highlight???? Aren't there enough other natural and historical highlights on the island? And what do the cows have to do with the airport?

This marking is not correct.

Victor Hugo, the notable French author and poet, was exiled from France due to his opposition to Napoleon. He came to Guernsey in 1855 and lived here for 14 years completing Les Miserables and writing Toilers of the Sea. Victor Hugos’ descendants donated Hauteville House to the City of Paris in 1927 and they now preserve the house and organise the guided tours both in French and English. The house is well worth a visit and is stuffed full of ornate furniture, tapestries, crockery, figurines and carpets but the highlight (literally) is the Look-Out at the very top of the house which was the poet’s sanctuary. Here, on a clear day he could gaze over to his beloved France. You have to book the tours online.

Local artist born in 1812 and a contemporary of Paul Jacob Naftel. Mostly painted watercolours particularly of the South Coast and the water lanes. Some of his best work depicts his fellow islanders. His paintings can be seen at Candie Gardens Museum

During the Occupation the Germans introduced a colour and number code for roads in Guernsey. German soldiers were then issued with a suitably marked map so they could find their way around the island. The map can be seen at the Occupation museum in Forest.

Designed by John Wilson who also designed town market square, St. James and Elizabeth College in St. Peter Port. It has the tallest steeple in Guernsey and is used as a sea mark by sailers.

Opposite Fort Grey there is the Guernsey Pearl and the Himalayan Kitchen which is a great cafe with British Asian fusion food. Lovely spot to stop for refreshments.
