It was built by Brother Déodat who started work in March 1914. His plan was to create a miniature version of the famous grotto and basilica at Lourdes in France. Guardianship of the Little Chapel now rests with Blanchelande Girls College, which is run by a Charitable Trust. The Little Chapel is beautifully decorated with seashells, pebbles and colourful pieces of broken china and the College has an ongoing programme of repairs and improvements. There is no charge to enter the Chapel it relies totally on public donations. http://www.visitguernsey.com/attractions/attraction.aspx?attractionid=192 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:38:42 GMT http://www.visitguernsey.com/attractions/attraction.aspx?attractionid=192 Part of a recent restoration project of Les Caches Farm, the barn which was the original house, dating from the 15th century, has been sympathetically restored complete with thatched roof. http://www.visitguernsey.com/attractions/attraction.aspx?attractionid=259 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:38:42 GMT http://www.visitguernsey.com/attractions/attraction.aspx?attractionid=259 Fortification that sits atop a hill and which evidence suggests has a history stretching back to the Iron Age.

The garden had been part of the de Saumarez family's private estate, which was acquired by the States of Guernsey following the death of the fourth Lord de Saumarez in 1937. While the park itself has been substantially used for public purposes, the walled garden fell into a state of disuse and disrepair over the years. Since 2006 the substantial amount of site clearance which has been needed has been largely carried out by our band of willing volunteers, and a six-bed vegetable layout, plus soft fruit and coarse vegetable areas have been developed. Although work on the garden is still in progress, it is already producing well, yielding crops in varieties appropriate to the Victorian era. In both 2008 and 2009, produce from the garden gained several first prizes in the Northern Agricultural & Horticultural Society's annual show held in Saumarez Park. The Park and part of the adjacent nature trail, contain the finest single collection of trees in Guernsey, and a stroll around will be well rewarded. Interesting guided walks are available most days (Booking essential) from May to September which touch on the history of the Park and some of its present usages. These start at 2 pm from Saumarez Park Tea Rooms and last about 1½ hours. http://www.visitguernsey.com/attractions/attraction.aspx?attractionid=255 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:38:42 GMT http://www.visitguernsey.com/attractions/attraction.aspx?attractionid=255
