A Guernsey is a breed of cattle, particularly dairy cattle.

The Guernsey cow is the national animal of Guernsey.

The fact that you can only reach Guernsey by plane or boat adds to its reputation as a remote destination where the medieval history of Europe still lingers in the air. Part of the Channel Islands, Guernsey is an oasis of rural lanes and lush green fields. As a result of this landscape, it remains a popular holiday destination for many Europeans.

The island of Guernsey is fairly compact, a total of 9 miles in length and a mere 3 miles in width. Yet within this area there are a variety of different geological features. From the busy harbor town of St. Peter Port to the sub-tropical flora that thrives here, Guernsey is a mixture of exotic and familiar.

With a temperate climate and miles of unspoiled countryside, it is easy to see why Guernsey is still a popular choice for so many.
