Walking around the old town, you will be reminded of parts of the English Westcountry, such as Devon and Cornwall. Pretty old cottages, with wonderful flowers, old cars which would long ago have been scrapped on the British mainland, and ancient farm machinery. From the appearance of the railway line which you will find at the top of Braye hill, it appears the tourist attraction has now ceased. There are some nice sandy beaches on the South side, such as Braye Bay, Saye Bay and others. Unfortunately we had no time to visit the Lighthouse, which, I believe, is open to visitors.

Some parts of Alderney are very steep, unlike Guernsey, but there are a good number of seats placed around the footpaths, especially at The Zig-Zag, a path leading inland from Clonque, and which will take you to the centre of the Island. You will need to explore some of the smaller coastal paths, but there's little chance of you getting lost. You can pick up a useful little map in the Information Centre, in St Ann. Leave a Comment

 Fort Clonque, with The Swinge
beyond by Geoff_Wright, 2 more photos
Fort Clonque can be approached at low tide from the unmade road, but you will be denied acces, as the fort is privately owned by the Landmark Trust. The Fort was built in the 1840's, and further fortified by the Germans when they occupied the Island in 1940. Parts of the fort appear to be suffering from coastal erosion, as are the nearby cliffs.
