As I continue my account of my holiday (18th-27th March), this is the first post solely dedicated to Alderney.
EXPLORING ST ANNE
On our first full day on Alderney, the Tuesday, we set out to visit St Anne, the only town on the island. Our departure was delayed by the necessity of waiting for a high tide to go down. As was the case through this holiday we were blessed with excellent weather.
There was much to see on the way to the town:
The town itself was quite an interesting place, and the information office was very useful.
We walked back the same way we had come.
All photographs in this post can be seen at full size by clicking on them, but we end with a view of the fort:

Reminds me of Mount Saint Michel.
The elevation is not nearly as much – Fort Clonque is only a little above sea level at it’s highest point, but the tide moves fast (10 knots was the speed quoted by Ray who drove out bags from the harbour to the fort).
