The Bailiwick of Guernsey, or Guernsey for short, is a British crown dependency located in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy, France. Formerly known as the Norman Isles, the Bailiwick of Guernsey is composed of the main island, Guernsey, and a group of smaller islands. As a British crown dependency, the territory forms part of the British Isles but not part of the UK; the Bailiwick of Guernsey is essentially independent but relies on the British government for military protection and international representation. The chief of state is the King/Queen of England and the head of government is the chief minister.
The population of Guernsey was estimated to be approximately 66,500 people in 2017. Most of the islands’ inhabitants are of British or French descent. Guernsey has a small but prosperous economy. Banking, tourism and retail are important economic sectors.
Due to its location, the islands experience a temperate climate and largely overcast skies; approximately half of the days of the year are overcast. Nevertheless, these islands have fantastic scenery, sandy beaches and stunning cliffs, and with moderate temperatures year-round, outdoor activities such as kayaking, golfing, hiking and cycling can be enjoyed by all. Moreover, the islands’ military history leaves numerous old castles and forts to be discovered. The islands are accessible by air or by ferry and have been a tourist destination since the Victorian era.
