About 3,500 to 1,500 BC years ago, neolithic people lived on Ivy Castle site.

If you spend long enough in guernsey you will find so many hidden gems . Walk the lanes of the upper parishes and look for the witches seats on the sides of farmhouses. Try to find the pilgrims walks, green lanes from the parish churches down to the sea. The island may be small but our history is so interesting due to our English / French roots.

[@highlands2hammocks]

So many!!! The history across all the islands is crazy! Will need to check that place out as well then

[@BenFiorePhotography]

you gotta run round the fairy ring 10x and make a wish!! ;) sick editing on this btw!!

[@highlands2hammocks]

haha ill need to do that next time then to make this wind go away so i can fly soon!

[@zannidanni]

Just HAD to say how much I loved the little chapel! Will definitely stop there and donate when we go there next year 😊

[@highlands2hammocks]

Love it too 😁 so cute!

The photo at 08:54 is a still from the 1970s ITV drama series, Enemy at the Door. The scene concerned is set on (and filmed on) Sark.

[@rocktigerdesign]

This is amazing and also six more reasons to visit this Island at some point once we can... lol. Nice choice of music with the burial place, felt like I'm watching "Stranger Things" for a moment. The quarry does seem like a good spot for a thriller or horror movie too and that chapel has some Mediterranean feel for some reason. Awesome video as always ! ;)

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks for watching dude! Really appreciate the feedback as always :) haha thats what I was going for!

[@anthonyrooksmith3189]

[@Sapxol]

As I guernsey person who wants to move to the big city (New York) when Im old enough , I will definitely miss all the places I grew up with

[@highlands2hammocks]

Its a beautiful island for sure ❤️ but the world is a massive place and you are going to love exploring other sights even more! Best of luck on your journey 😁 if you need any help or advice just let us know 😊

[@carolinebellis9018]

Really great video guys. Love that you love our little island. Keep looking out for little gems and check out Marie de Garis’ Folklore of Guernsey book that covers much of the weird and wonderful.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks for the tips!

[@nataliewrigley9785]

The Quarry, Tombs & Ivy Castle I have you to thank for knowing they even exist! I’m such a bad local! 🤣 But love it here, proper quirky little island isn’t it!? Yet another wonderful video guys ❤️ x

[@highlands2hammocks]

Such a crazy place! Thanks for watching MG 😁

[@jolp37]

I've been to all of those. Live in NZ but born in Guernsey. We've been back 4 times and yes those were all on our to do list. When we lived there not so much, although we did live right next door to the Ivy Castle and went in there many times.

[@highlands2hammocks]

So many beautiful spots 😁

[@JustAnAutisticAries]

I live in Guernsey and I personally think it’s amazing like there is just a lot to do

[@highlands2hammocks]

So much to do 😁

[@braunbar8385]

It`s a wonderful Video thank you so much for it. It`s a gret place

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@luferl3210]

So many real gems in Guernsey. Check out Le Souffleur , the Blow hole by Pleinmont.. What about the privately owned ‘little’ German Occupation Museum showing amongst other things, a condom issued a to the German occupying forces! Pretty weird but actually a real gem of a museum...And all the little vennels, the tiny cobbled back lanes around St Peter Port are great, full of intrigue..

[@highlands2hammocks]

Will need to go and check out these places too, thanks for the recommendations!

[@alanive2001]

Obvious place of interest (another Neolithic tomb) is Le Dehus (near Bordeaux Harbour).

[@highlands2hammocks]

will definitely need to head there then because I have never heard of that! Thanks for letting me knoiw

[@gilbertosilva8807]

im from guernsey man , theres a few hidden bunkers round ivy castle you could vist aswell

[@highlands2hammocks]

[@fayerichardson1911]

I live in Perth Western Australia but born in Guernsey really enjoying your videos. The dolmen at lihou is prounced (crew eh fair) silent x and in local legend is the entrance to the fairy world.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw thank you 😁 yeah that spot is amazing! Thanks for watching

[@marcelaburgos5112]

[@highlands2hammocks]

[@sandrorossi]

Crazy what this small Island has to offerI

[@highlands2hammocks]

Isn’t it?! There’s so much 😁

[@lolly9080]

Have you walked Rue du Pantain just off the road bottom of Talbot valley

[@highlands2hammocks]

We havent! What should we look out for there?

[@kironmanuel664]

Guernsey people are brave

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha they sure are with these morning swims!

[@timgauld]

Le Creux Mahie at bottom of cliffs near Torteval. Goes back 180m. Path down is a bit exposed so take care.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Fascinating! Will need to check it out

[@chrisangeloalverio1354]

Great vlog sir. Soon working in guernsey❤️

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you 😁

[@lesleyt2013]

The bench at the top of the quarry is dedicated to my grandfather!

[@highlands2hammocks]

aw how lovely!

[@wizzlejenkins4361]

no your correct Gurnnsey is crazy...

[@globetrottersm3196]

Very interesting

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@josephinejoyce5884]

I never heard the story of theLittle Chapel being knocked down and rebuilt so a fat chap could fit in through the entrance. Is it true? I’ve lived here all my life, surely I’d have heard that weird fact!

[@highlands2hammocks]

I had to double check but indeed in 1923 the bishop of Portsmouth couldn’t fit through the door and it had to be rebuilt 😂 you can read about It in the visitguernsey website

[@highlands2hammocks]

Crazy I know

[@titibatman9406]

Absolutely hated, Guernsey! Spent 2 years there. At first I was very impressed with beautiful sceneries, to then realise how small the place is! It is very easy to have been everywhere in less than a month. Then, you realise there is no privacy! Anywhere you go, you will meet people from work, or someone who wants to know exactly where you work cos they apparently know your manager. Then you have the permit story! They will give you only a 5 year permit! Which is not very nice considering you have moved all your stuff in there! Then they attach this permit to your post, which means that employers have so much power over you, and don't they know it! Leaving the island is a nightmare with ferries getting cancelled cos of the weather, this is what they tell you. Food is ridiculously expensive and not fresh! Any vegetables you won't be able to keep them more than one day in the fridge! People are very polite at first, then you realise they really make a difference between different groups living in the island. Don't try to get any help or services! They will tell you to wait 6 months if you are lucky or decide to pay 3 times the price! Don't expect quotes or detailed invoices! And also they want to be paid by transfer of course. I could carry on for pages. The worst is that there are no laws! Employers call each other on individuals and have complete disregard for what you would assume not legal for an employer to ask you at work in the UK. Another thing is by car it's a nightmare, by bicycle it is dangerous, and they have complete disregard for ecology or the environment. People would use their cars on stop, leave their engine on for hours. They like racing with cars on the beach! This island is suffocating and clostrophobic, to say the least. They have just introduced anti discrimination laws, which were put in place in the UK in the 70s, and yet have not been put in place as they are opposing it! Shops are old and there are not many! And they are not ipen minded people at all! It's a bit like Wales where everyone is white and they hate everyone who is different, and spend their time gossiping because they are so bored!

[@curly2smith133]

I do hope you have left Guernsey, we can do without you and it would make room for someone who does actually appreciate all the positives, someone would be a part of the community not apart from it.

[@annikaabbotts13]

😢😢

[@JamesPatel-nq2bc]

Completely agree I had to move hear from the uk and I’ve done most of education here the day I finish my A-levels I’m gone. I love the safety but the people are so annoying the constant blatant discrimination is shocking against anyone who wasn’t born here or has an extensive family history on the island or worse doesn’t go to church

[@Deutschland-f2y]

Guernsey is the best

[@Deutschland-f2y]

I do not agree

[@ShawnyLuscombe]

The fairy ring does have something to do with witchcraft and fairies!please read our local folklore before you post things! Fairies and witches were said to dance around it during full moons!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Okay 😂
