      Well you did miss the Odeon which is on the cliff by the railway. It's very cool and it's history is very interesting. Also scattered around the island are hundreds of bunkers from ww2. And just before the golf course there's a little foot path and hidden on the footpath is a cave which the Germans used in ww2. It's not directly on the footpath its on the side. Thank you.

    Alderney is a mile long and half a mile wide. Its possible to walk everywhere.
    Been there many times with the rn , used to go to the divers pub and seaview hotel.
    It featured in tbe eagle has landed, if you remember that. Both the airstrip and harbour and pubs.
    Alderney has one of the most tidal waters in the world changes 50 ft in 4 hours.

    Finally got the time to watch this video and you guys are never disappoint with amazing places. That bell tower was just super amazing, the Gannet Rock is spectacular and I cannot even imagine how this trip must have felt like... one thing that stood out to me the most is the sense of "normality" that you guys happened to experience which is waiting for us all here in the mainland. Such a great island, such an amazing place and I cannot stress enough that the quality of your videos are getting better and more cinematic now... kudos to you both. ;)

    Team H2H, love your channel. Alderney appears to have a raw beauty that reminds me of Block Island or Nantucket. My girlfriend and I are based in Flordia but hope to relocate to Guernsey in a few years. Will be hiking and biking Hadrian’s Wall next May for my 50th birthday and then a week with all my cousins who live in St. Albans north of London. The plan was to head to Guernsey for two weeks after that in June (2022) and rent a house. But now seeing this video do we manage the additional travel and rent in Alderney instead?

      Wow we have never been there but that is interesting! I would suggest spending a couple of days over here at least, just to see it for yourself. Maybe two weeks here would. be too long, but two weeks in Guernsey would allow you to hop around the other islands too!

    It's funny. A lot of us islanders rarely travel to the other islands. Especially us from Jersey and some from Guernsey. I went to Guernsey once as a kid. I'd like to revisit Sark for night time photography one day. The one I want to go to is Herm with its interesting beach on the North side.
