A silent walking tour of ST PETER PORT - the capital of GUERNSEY Channel Islands

Hi everyone! In this video, I take you on a silent walking tour through the town centre of St Peter Port / Saint Peter Port, the capital of Guernsey. As Guernsey is one of the Channel Islands (together with Jersey) and the wider Bailiwick is a Crown Dependency (together with the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Isle of Man), I've added this to the 'British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies' playlist.
We start our walk near the hotel where I was staying and walk along the Grange through a residential neighbourhood. We will pass Elizabeth College, St James Church, Sunken Garden and St Paul's Garden before arriving in the town centre. We will see the High Street and several buildings and monuments including Town Church, the Donkey statue and Victor Hugo statue. The walk ends in the beautiful harbour area where we have a view of Castle Cornet.
This was taken on a Sunday morning when many of the shops were shut and a general lack of road and people traffic. When it is so quiet, one can really enjoy the architecture and the sounds of nature, and see things one would not normally see when there are loads of people around. It is also great for the mental health to do such a walk. So, come and enjoy this silent walk with me!
Date of filming: 5 February 2023

Great video as always, Willie! Love seeing these places that I normally wouldn't think of checking out. Guernsey looks like a lovely little island. :)

We are living and working here. This video gives us an appreciation of our beautiful surroundings. From where in SA, we are from Cape Town and, more recently, Durban? Looking forward to the next one 🇿🇦

[@willieexplore]

Ahh that is wonderful to hear Helen! Sometimes one only appreciates the beauty of a place through the eyes of an outsider. You can be very proud of calling Guernsey your new home! My hometown in SA at the moment is Lambert's Bay :)

Very quaint! Like England, but with a touch of continental flair. A few nice churches there and especially nice down by the water towards the end 🇬🇬

[@willieexplore]

Cheers mate, definitely similar to many places in England with that added touch you described! I've been told the view from the water to the island is spectacular

[@stevenr2463]

Guernsey is more British than England. We dont like changes. 😉😉

[@stevenr2463]

btw: Samuel Pepy´s has been in the High Street since the 1970s! Sadly a lot of other shops have gone/changed.

[@willieexplore]

@@stevenr2463 That is so interesting! Many have also commented about the Boots in both St Helier and St Peter Port that still occupy the same spots

[@stevenr2463]

@@willieexplore Yes. Ever since I was born (1962). At least 👍👍 Thank you fpr your vids! You see more than most!

[@stevenr2463]

Again, great video! Thanks! Past my old school (Elizabeth College) 👍Re St. Peter Port vs St. Helier - I know you cant comment. But its for everyone to see 😉

[@willieexplore]

I loved Elizabeth College and the area around the Grange in general. A very special town this :)

[@stevenr2463]

Even so. Reminds me of a song: "Cold Winter Harbour". Looks a lot different in summer.
