Solitary bees don’t live in hives — they nest alone, often in hollow stems or holes in wood.
Bee hotels give these vital pollinators a safe place to rest and raise their young. No stings, no swarms — just hard-working, gentle creatures helping your garden thrive.

Every spring, the skies above Alderney shift. Thousands of northern gannets return to the Channel Islands, not because they live here year-round, but to nest — cramming themselves onto the sheer cliffs of Les Étacs and Ortac just off the island’s west coast.

Snorkelling is one of the simplest ways to connect with the ocean. With just a mask, snorkel, and fins, you can float on the surface and peer into a hidden world teeming with life. It’s accessible, peaceful, and often unexpectedly awe-inspiring.

The most tranquil coastline in the Channel Islands... Sark is a car-free island where dramatic cliffs, quiet coves, and winding paths lead you to some of the most peaceful ocean views you'll ever find.

The gannets are back in Alderney...
Thousands of wings slicing through the wind, bringing noise, energy, and life back to the cliffs. One of Britain’s most important seabird colonies is officially open for the season.

You know where this is, right?
The Fairy Ring – or Table des Pions – looks like something from folklore. A circle of stones etched into the grass near Fort Pezeries in Torteval, with a low mound at its centre.

Liz Sweet talking about... Gannets. Watching seabirds is a pretty good way to spot dolphins, so when your looking out to sea always follow the birds!
