Channel Islands

Although they are just a few miles off the French coast and are not part of the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands are really rather British. The main islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm are accompanied by the smaller Jethou, Brecqhou and Lihou - plus a number of uninhabited islets - to create an archipelago within sight of the coast of Normandy.
