Travel Guide

Herm Island

Herm is one of the Channel Islands and part of the Parish of St Peter Port in the Bailiwick of Guernsey.  It is 2,183 m long and under 873 metres wide; oriented north–south, with several stretches of sand along its northern coast.

Between mid-March and July, a vast number of puffins flock to this and the other Islands to breed.

Herm offers a true view of Island life – it has no cars.
