00:00If you're seeking paradise less than an hour's flight from London, then look no further than Guernsey.
00:06Located in the English Channel, this beautiful island is rich in culture and heritage,
00:12boasting beautiful nature and delicious cuisine.
00:16Guernsey, along with Jersey, Alderney and Sark, was occupied by the Nazis during World War II.
00:23The island is steeped in history from this period, with hundreds of bunkers and several unique museums.
00:30On May 9th, Guernsey celebrated 79 years since being liberated from the Nazis,
00:36with the island gearing up for a large 80-year anniversary celebration next year.
00:41No trip to Guernsey is complete without taking a rib boat tour.
00:46Enjoy the wind in your face as you explore bays, caves and islands,
00:51and see local wildlife on the way.
00:53For war history fans, there are a number of bespoke museums to visit,
00:58including the German Occupation Museum and the German Underground Hospital.
01:03We also visited Battery Mirrors, the largest gun emplacement site in Guernsey.
01:09Other must-see sites on the island include the Little Chapel,
01:12which is decorated with pebbles and broken china. Picture perfect!
01:18And if you're lucky enough on your travels, you might even get the chance to see some Guernsey cows.
01:25For food and drink, Guernsey is a haven for seafood.
01:29I highly recommend this seafood platter from Le Nautique.
01:33Other delicious foodie spots include Le Fregat,
01:36where you can feast on scallops and enjoy a fisherman's plate.
01:40Thank you, Guernsey, for an unforgettable stay.
