Herm - The Enchanting Channel Isle with Naturetrek

Herm is one of the smallest of the inhabited Channel Islands being just 1.5 miles long and 0.5 mile wide and lying just to the east of Guernsey. It is, however, steeped in history, and remains largely unspoilt with pristine beaches and no cars. On this summer break we will make daily crossings (of just 15-minutes) from Guernsey to enjoy the island’s natural history on leisurely walks and boat excursions (including one to the neighbouring island of Sark). We will also enjoy a bird-ringing demonstration, moth-trapping and bat walks. With no flights or road transport involved, this will make for a low-emissions holiday, and it is the perfect chance for a relaxing break away from the hectic pace of modern life.
