Visitor Penny Locke and family experienced a true Sark getaway last summer. Here she shares the highlights of her stay.

This is the kind of holiday I enjoyed on Sark throughout my…
A self-guided walk from La Collinette to Little Sark and back With rest stops, picnic opportunities, eateries and lovely viewing points This walk will take about two and a half hours at a steady pace, but longer if you want to stop for any reason above. There are a couple of short climbs and two stiles, but it is easily achievable by any moderately fit walker. Start at La…

This is gradually being eroded and Little Sark will eventually become an island (a similar process is likely to have occurred with Brecqhou close to Sark’s west coast). Several small islets lie close to the shore of…
