Wright Guernsey Pictures
Here are some of the many
pictures we took during our 20-th anniversary trip to Guernsey in October,
2009. As usual, our main interest was in getting out and walking, which we were
able to do every day, thanks to fine weather. Most of these pictures were taken
along hikes on the cliff paths. We covered all of the shoreline from St. Peter
Port around the south coast to the west tip of the island.
We have gathered the
snapshots into bunches. To see all the pictures from cliffs, for example, click
on the first link below to open a sort of slide show. Click on any small
picture to see it blown up. "Next" and "Previous" will
navigate through the whole set, and "Up" will take you back to the
full collection.
To get back to this page, click
"Up" and then the "back to main directory" link.
The captions on the pictures donŐt come
close to telling the whole story, but at least they can give you some idea of
what youŐre looking at. Perhaps they and the pictures will help you see why we
had such a wonderful time.

Cliff paths contains shots
of the rugged coastline. Note in some pictures the large number of steps on the
paths. Up and down, up and down.
St. Peter Port includes
pictures of the main town/city on the island and of Castle Cornet. The castle
sits in the harbor and has been used and modified more or less continuously
from the time of William the Conqueror to the German occupation in WW II.
Inland contains some
scenes from a couple of walks we took in the 25 square mile interior of the
island.
Herm has a few pictures
from our visit to that neighboring island. One can circumnavigate Herm on foot
in a couple of hours, encountering two fairly nice sand beaches and some fine
cliffs, of which we donŐt have pictures.
Finally, we include a
panorama of St. Peter Port from the harbor.
