An amazing evening spent on the beach in mid April. Nobody around. The tide was half out and we walked alone across the white sand. Quiet, secluded and breathless sunset. Well worth a visit when on island and it is timeless. Do come and sea.

Cycle hire to get around the beautiful island of Alderney, the best way to see the island! We have pedal bikes for hire as well as new Wisper electric bikes - don't be fooled though, you still have to do some pedaling on the e-bikes! Most bikes are multi gear all-terrain with front suspension, we have some traditional step-through ladies bikes. Tag alongs, child seats and buggies are available, we advise that you book during the summer months. Helmets and locks are provided with every bike, and we also have baskets available free of charge if the style of bike is suitable. We are very flexible and can offer hourly, half-day, full day, and multi day rentals - whatever we can to make sure your trip is perfect for you.

A well signposted and beautiful walk with a range of terrains, outlooks and viewpoints. Lots of history to delve into. Wouldn’t be suitable for those with mobility issues though.
5. St. Anne's Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 74 reviews
Consecrated in 1850 and built to the design of Sir George Gilbert Scott, this church is one of the finest examples of Victorian architecture in the Channel Islands.
Reviewed By jonathanwK493OH - Plymouth, United Kingdom
All that has been written already about St. Anne's Church is accurate; a gorgeous building, internally and externally, and a well kept churchyard containing the grave of John Arlott, the wonderful cricket commentator whose voice evokes, for me anyway, the long hot summer of 1976 when I was a teenager whose only interest was opening the bowling for England...Ian Botham visited the island many times, and occasionally still pops down to the grave to open a bottle of red wine with him!

Take a ride on this historic railroad that transports visitors along a scenic two-mile stretch in England's Channel Islands.
7. Alderney Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 198 reviews
The museum collection on display reveals an island community changing over the years to both external and internal pressures. Alderney has a fascinating history starting with extensive Stone, Bronze and Iron Age activity, with evidence of historically important Roman activity at Longy. The Victorian era brought huge change to Alderney and the landscape is still dominated by Queen Victoria's interest in the island as a defence harbour from the French. Most recently the Second World War had an extreme effect on Alderney when all but a few of the island's inhabitants were evacuated and the island occupied by German forces for the duration of the war.
Reviewed By ScotonAlderney - St Anne, United Kingdom
A very well laid out museum that reflects all parts of Alderney life. The detail linked to the German occupation in World War II is thoughtfully displayed and shows a keen understanding of what happened during that part of world history. The museum volunteers were well-informed and guided us round the displays in a unobtrusive manner. This museum run by the Alderney society is really top rate and good value at only £3 per head for entry.
8. The Odeon

Reviewed By Daenelle - Oxford, United Kingdom
This eerie tower feels like a venue for dungeons and dragons, but it also gives you a terrifying insight into what it must have been like for the German soldiers stuck out on this Little Rock in the Channel, behind 6ft thick concrete walls waiting for the bombs to start falling. And just what fierce feats of construction the poor prisoners had to perform in their sad time there. Do go - it will make you think about war, the passage of time and human frailty. And it’s super dark and scary.
