Sark is the smallest of the four Channel Islands, located some 80 miles off the south coast of England. Whilst only three miles long, and a mile and a half wide, it boasts 40 miles of what must be one of the most picturesque coastlines anywhere in the world.

Why not take an optional excursion to Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, founded over fifty years ago and home to over 130 endangered species. You'll have the opportunity to see over 1,400 mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians in 32 acres of beautiful gardens and parkland.

Experience wine tasting at La Mare Vineyard, Jersey, which can be found in a quiet corner in the north of the island, where fields of vines and apple trees surround a traditional 18th-century Jersey granite farmhouse.

Enjoy an included excursion to St Malo, walled and built with the same grey granite as Mont St.Michael. St.Malo was originally, in the Middle Ages, a fortified island - and today is the most visited place in Britanny, thanks to its superb old citadelle.

Centrally located in St Helier near the Jersey Arts Centre is the resort-style Merton Hotel.
