Alderney, the third largest of the Channel Islands invites you to travel to and discover one of the few unspoiled, peaceful, natural and totally relaxing British Isles.
Imagine a little island - just one and a half miles wide and three and a half miles long with just over two thousand friendly and welcoming inhabitants. Like Guernsey and Jersey, the island enjoys a mild climate and independence, with its own government and a fledgling off-shore finance and E-commerce sector.

What a strange phenomenon. Out of the blue wends this quirky little book set in Guernsey. American, Mary Ann Shaffer visited Guernsey in 1976 and was fascinated by the stories of the German Occupation.
On her return to her native America she the book which is set in the Occupation years; essentially a story of strange circumstance under the German jack boot and, of course, love. The book has taken America by storm and has put our little island firmly on the map; adding real interest in the island as a destination.
So we had an idea. Lets read some "chick lit" and map the book of the island. For those of you who have read the tome we provide you with every instance where a place is mentioned; mainly set in St Martin's parish.
Have a flick through the Google Map of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Society map and discover the island for yourselves

What would Guernsey be without Herm? If you want to know the answer, then just look at Jersey.
There's no doubt that there is a symbiotic relation between the Bailiwick Islands of Guernsey and Jersey; by the grace of each other they go. Herm situated approximately 3 miles East of St Peter Port is the summer playground of Guernsey residents. White coral and shell beaches, family friendly, great food a welcoming staff and team and only 20 minutes by boat from the larger isle. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that Herm is probably Northern Europe’s prettiest island and, strangely, best kept secret.
A summer’s day or evening in Herm is equivalent to any Mediterranean destination – trust us, this is not marketing spiel; there simply isn’t a better island destination anywhere in Northern Europe.
Google maps can be a bit quirky, so the development of this map was a bit more…er…..challenging! No roads to snap to – Herm doesn’t have any. The postcode doesn’t appear to exist within Google – I think there’s only one anyway.
So we have done our best to give you a taster of what’s on, in and around the island.

We've had a strange piece in today, not normally one we would publish but we believe readers will forgive us. Submarine had been conducting some research on Guernsey Folklore and have created we created a Google Map on the subject. While researching the piece the team discovered a story about the Invasion of Guernsey, in 1372, by the brigand Evan of Wales.
Makes for an interesting read and an interesting project on our fair Island's long history.
The poem reads quite well and, as far as we can ascertain, is a reasonable reflection of Guernsey's turbulent past.
