< Home La Coupee The most photographed place in the Channel Islands! La Coupee is an Isthmus of sedimentary rock connecting Big Sark & Little Sark. Until 1900 there were no railings and on windy days the school children would crawl over on their hands and knees. During the Occupation the residents of Little Sark were sent to live on Big Sark so that the land could be planted with potatoes. People were allowed to return each day only to attend the crops and animals. Following Sark's Liberation the captured German Prisoners of War were ordered to rebuild La Coupee, erecting the concrete supports and handrails that we see today. The reconstruction took around 6 months.

< Home Buddhist Rock Carving A blessing for Sark. Chosen for its hard-wearing granite, this stone was carved out for the Millennium by a Tibetan Monk at the request of a lover of Sark. The inscription is a sacred Buddhist mantra, "Hail the jewel in the heart of the lotus " and offers protection against evil. The large stone sits proudly at the end of L'Epercquerie headland, facing westward towards the other islands of Herm, Jethou and Guernsey.

< Home The Mill The highest point on Sark. Until the 20th century Sark’s economy was based on agriculture and a reliable mill was essential to sustain the original settlers. In 1571 Helier DeCarteret built this windmill, carving his coat of arms on the north lintel to signify the Seigneur’s right to a monopoly over the milling of grain. This may be the earliest date on a vernacular building in the Channel Islands. The Mill sits on Sark’s highest ground, at 110m above sea level where the wind blows freely. It has survived well, despite a fire in 1797 by locals protesting the Seigneur’s monopoly and decapitation by the German forces in 1940 to make a lookout platform. Restoration began in 1951 and was led by the artist Arthur Bradbury. Further restoration in the late 90s was needed to save the mill from further dilapidation.

< Back Sea Mist Bedrooms 1 Sleeps 2 B&B / Guest House About Sea Mist is a newly built (2017) wooden lodge, fitted with all mod cons, located on the east side of the tiny island of Sark.

Attractions on Sark La Seigneurie Gardens Set between flower-strewn granite walls and the towers and crenellations of one of the most historic buildings in Sark, La Seigneurie Gardens provide a tranquil contrast to the windswept wildness of the island’s beautiful coast. The walled garden is over-flowing with fascinating flowers and shrubs and the beautiful granite walls shelter many plants that can only survive under glass in other parts of the British Isles. War-Time Exhibition The exhibition is held in the old Island Hall, near St Peter’s Church. The Hall was used during the Occupation for most, if not all, community gatherings. It was here that the Dame gave her speech discouraging islanders from evacuating at the outset of the occupation and where islanders listened to Winston Churchill declaring the end of the war over the radio. The old Hall was also used during the intervening period by locals and Germans alike for social events such as drama group plays and indoor sports. Sark Community Dairy As well as being a fully functioning commercial dairy farm, the Sark Community Dairy is a place where locals and visitors alike can learn about dairy farming and the milk production process. ​ Live milking can be watched from the viewing platform everyday at 5pm, is free and open to all. ​ The on-site milk vending machine supplies fresh Sark milk and is open 24/7. Sark Playground Located next to the Methodist Chapel , the Sark Playground offers a variety of exciting play equipment for small and big kids. ​ With benches, picnic tables and lots of open green space, the playground is also a wonderful community picnic spot. Mon Plaisir grocery store is located opposite the playground for snacks and drinks. Buddhist Rock Carving Chosen for its hard-wearing granite, this stone was carved out for the Millennium by a Tibetan Monk at the request of a lover of Sark. The inscription is a sacred Buddhist mantra, "Hail the jewel in the heart of the lotus " and offers protection against evil. ​ The large stone sits proudly at the end of L'Epercquerie headland, facing westward towards the other islands of Herm, Jethou and Guernsey. Sark Observatory With a cleverly sliding rooftop, the Sark Observatory houses a state of the art telescope for viewing Sark's incredible starry night sky and planetary displays. ​ Run by members of the Sark Ast ronomy Society (SAstr oS), visitors may book a guided session to use the telescope and learn about Sark's night sky. Heritage Room Run by La Société Sercquaise, the Heritage room is a museum-like space filled with interesting and rare artefacts and information relating to Sark's history, heritage, natural environment and culture. ​ Here you will find a library, collections, displays and a herbarium as well as temporary exhibitions. ​ Entry into the Heritage Room is free. Island Hall & Community Center The Island Hall and Community Centre houses a fantastic cafe and upstairs bar with balcony overlooking the Millennium Sports Field, as well as several other rooms that can be hired out by the hour. ​ These rooms include the Toplis Room, with snooker table, the Board room, with table tennis and tv, and the main Hall, with full sized badminton court and projection facilities. ​ Beauregard Duck Pond This unassuming little duck pond comes to life every Good Friday when the community comes out to sail toy boats and eat hot cross buns in the Spring sun! ​ The tradition of Good Friday boat sailing can be traced back at least a hundred years but the activity can be enjoyed any day of the year. Sark Henge Sark Henge was built in 2015 to commemorate the 450 year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth I granting the Fief of Sark to Helier De Carteret, Seigneur of St Ouen, on 6th August 1565. Nine stones of Jersey granite, previously used by Helier’s tenants as gate hinges to enclose their fields, were erected in a ring to represent the nine medieval territories: Fort, Moinerie, Ville, Valette, Avant le Creux, Dixcart, Bourel, Beauregard, Petit Sercq. Each of the nine stones is aligned with a local landmark or by the sun, marking the winter and summer solstice and the spring and autumn equinox. Cider Barn Originally built as a house in the 1560s, this building is possibly one of the oldest on Sark still standing. Later known as the Pressoir , the house was used for cider making in the 1620s, complete with a press and horse-drawn crusher. Further additions in Victorian times included a hay loft and hatch. ​ The derelict barn was restored by La Société Sercquaise in 2013 and is now used as an archaeological display room cum community space for exhibitions, workshops and traditional veillies .

< Home Window in the Rock Framing the view of Les Autlets and Port du Moulin Arch. In 1853 Rev. William T. Collings became Seigneur of Sark, his mother, Marie, having only been Seigneur for less than a year before her death. Collings was keen on improving the welfare of the community and sought to encourage the newly developed industry of tourism. To this end he had a window cut into the cliff, framing the view of Port Du Moulin Bay Arch and Les Autlets. By the 1870s, Sark had around 5k visitors a year.
