In a nutshell
A wonderful place to forget the rest of the world.
crazyman2 Says: Enjoy wandering around the fairly quiet harbour and take a few photos. There are some interesting shots to be had!
crazyman2 Says: Enjoy a horse-drawn tour of Sark! Six of us sat in the carriage and had a memorable trek around this feudal island. The driver, Sandra, was so informative! The horse, Pride, didn't give us so much feedback ---but he was a worker!It had been an exciting ferry ride from...
Tea4Two Says: The carved coat of arms of the first Seigneur is still visible on the stone lintel of the Windmill, built by him in 1571. Extensive sail damage occurred as a result of a storm in 1917 and corn was no longer ground here after 1920. The windmill stands at the highest point in...
Tea4Two Says: 1912 saw the erection of Sark's lighthouse, which greatly reduced the hazards to shipping east of the Island. It was built with granite, quarried from the Eperquerie Common. In the ownership of Trinity House, it stands 213 feet above high water mark and is now fully...
Tea4Two Says: The home of the Seigneurs of Sark since 1730, La Seigneurie was built on the site of the sixth century monastery of St. Magloire. The present house has been altered and extended over the years with a large Victorian watch-tower erected in order that signalling could take...
Tea4Two Says: The Pilcher monument is a granite obelisk situation on the headland facing Brecqhou, above the old landing at Havre Gosselin. It was erected to the memory of J. Pilcher, a London merchant, who lost his life with four others, attempting to sail to Guernsey one stormy evening...
Tea4Two Says: The razor-edged isthmus joining the main island to Little Sark, is the most spectacular sight in the Channel Islands. Before 1900 when protective railings were erected, children from Little Sark, had to crawl on their hands and knees to avoid being blown over the edge. The...
Tea4Two Says: It is hard to believe on a small place such as Sark that you would have need of a prison. This windowless stone prison, built in 1856, contains two small cells and is still in use today, usually for individuals who have over-indulged in liquid refreshment. Prisoners are kept...
Polygon Restaurant: Better than Polly's seafood....
chocolatemoose Says: Restaurant at the Bel-Air at the top of Harbour Hill near where the tractor bus drops the visitors off. The Chef is also a local fisherman. He was for a while the head chef at Stocks Hotel on Sark. His food is always good. Presentation is also a thing he loves to do well....
The Mermaid: Where all the hotel staff go...
chocolatemoose Says: This place is special because it is the only pub on the island of Sark. There are other bars in hotels but this is the pub ! There are 6 hotels here and they all bring in staff from other countries for the summer. The staff are young and out for fun and drinking. There are...
Jasen71 Says: If you wish to travel to Sark then take the 'Isle of Sark' Boat from White Rock in St Peter Port Guernsey. The boat departs three or five times a day depending on the season, or weather. The cost of an adult ticket is £22 return, and children £11.20 and infants under 3 years...
Jasen71 Says: Sark is a wonderful little island, but apart from tractors, horse carriages and cycles there is no other form of transport apart from walking. You can arrange to hire a bicycle from the Isle of Sark Shipping Company prior to departing from Guernsey to Sark. The cost of cycle...
Jasen71 Says: There are no cars, giving Sark an enchantment which is quite unique. This also means that you may have to walk, however you can hire horse drawn carts. Push bikes are allowed... Carridge trips from harbour to La Coupee and La Seigneurie Gardens take about 2 hours and cost...
crazyman2 Says: The row of shops, about 10 of them, is quaint. The people are friendly, wanting to chat and pass the time of day. There's an arty crafty shop which sells a variety of ornaments, paintings etc.etc. It's pricy though!There are places where you can buy tourist-tat to take home...
Jasen71 Says: Not the sort you wear! Once a year annual sheep races have always been a popular event on the island. It seems to be the Royal Ascot of Sark.The action took place at the Millennium Field next to the new Island Hall and when I arrived, there was an air of anticipation. People...
takanni5 Says: Hi all, when visiting the lovely Island of Sark, known for its NO CAR life, one word of warning - beware of the TRACTORS not only do many houses own one they drive every where. To the shops, school ,pub, church it just seems too far for them to walk or bike ride.Why have so...
Tea4Two Says: A suitcase is fine but in summer Sark can get very dusty. A rucksack might be better - it all depends on where you are staying.For a day trip a rucksack is essential for all your mod cons as well as any shopping you may buy. As there are no cars on Sark you need to get out...
Jasen71 Says: Fancy a walk? and a close look at Nature?? The island of Sark is one of the few remaining unspolit Islands in the Western world - with no cars and virtually no pollution. The well-known botanist and broadcaster, Professor David Bellamy, said that his recent trip to Sark was...
Tea4Two Says: This sign was spotted on the way back from Little Sark - "Sheep Pop Ahead".What on earth is it trying to tell us!!!!

Pleasant tiny island in front of Guernesey
There are regular boats from Guernesey to Sark, as well as one day excursions. It is worth. In case you decide to spend a night there, please, have a look at my travel tip.
