1 St Peter Port

Considered one of Europe’s prettiest harbour

towns, the parish is colloquially known to

islanders as simply “town”. As the island’s

capital, it is a thriving parish full of topquality

restaurants, pedestrianised shopping

streets and leading names in finance,

insurance and law.

2 St Martin

Our island parishes

Guernsey is divided into 10 parishes, each with their own unique

character and offering a wealth of desirable properties to

Where cliff paths and sandy coves meet

green lanes and spectacular views. Situated

in the South-East corner, it is one of the most

popular parishes on the island, due to its

close proximity to St Peter Port and access to

stunning scenery.

3 Castel

Located on the West coast of the island, this

family-friendly parish hosts several popular

community events each year, such as La

Viaër Marchi and the North Show. With the

finest sandy beaches on the island, watching

the sunset with fish and chips at Cobo is

definitely recommended!

4 Vale

The second largest parish in size, winding

green lanes mixed with quaint fishing

harbours surround the extensive common

land at L’Ancresse Common. There is an 18-

hole links golf course which is home to two

of the island’s golf clubs.

5 St Pierre du Bois

Translated in English as “St Peter in the

Wood”, the parish is very rural and made up

of mainly countryside with a small village in

the centre. Located on the South-West coast,

it has two coastlines – sandy beaches on the

West coast and dramatic high cliffs to the

South. Located at the far end of L’Eree beach,

you will find Lihou, a small island accessed

by a stone causeway at low tide only. This

forms part of Guernsey’s first RAMSAR site.

6 St Saviour

With plenty of lush green spaces for pasture,

farming has been at the heart of this

picturesque parish for centuries. St Saviour

is popular for its fine Guernsey farmhouses,

some dating from the 17th century.

7 Forest

Home to Guernsey’s airport and around

1,500 residents. With large areas of open

green space, the parish is well known for

its community floral displays, which have

won many Floral Guernsey and Britain in

Bloom awards.

8 Torteval

The smallest of the 10 parishes, Torteval has

plenty of space due to one of the lowest

population densities along with St Pierre du

Bois. Its name comes from the Guernesiais

for twisting valley. Torteval’s great attraction

is the Scarecrow Festival, an annual event

where residents show off their finest

creations outside of their homes.

9 St Andrew

Located in the centre of the island, St Andrew

is the only parish which is landlocked. Whilst

it may lack a coastline, it makes up for it in

agricultural charm - filled with rural pastures

and scenic valleys.

10 St Sampson

St Sampson is Guernsey’s second largest

town and contains the affectionately known

area, The Bridge. Now a recreational marina,

the harbour was historically a centre for

shipbuilding and an export hub for

Guernsey granite.
