Shopping
The High Street has retained much of its charm with small boutiques and gift shops jostling for space alongside larger branded stores. Shopping in Guernsey offers plenty of choice if you want to treat yourself, try on a Guernsey Jumper or take home some traditional local Gache (fruit loaf), with the many family-run businesses, no two shops are the same.
