Go Slow in Alderney with Naturetrek

An 8-day holiday of wildlife walks and history on the charming island of Alderney. The most northerly and isolated of the Channel Islands, Alderney is a tranquil backwater accessible only by air, where visitors and cars are sparse and the locals most welcoming. This charming island is worth an extended stay and, on this 8-day holiday, our leader will ensure that you are able to enjoy its slow pace of life and abundant opportunities by laying on, twice daily, a range of optional activities with the island’s experts for you to dip into, or otherwise, at a relaxed pace. Many of these excursions can be enjoyed on walks out from and back to your comfortable base, the splendid Braye Beach Hotel which has fabulous views over the bay and its idyllic white sandy beach
