The Rocquette Cider Farm is a delightful spot to visit, with knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff who conduct interesting tours around the site. The tour concludes with a tasting session of locally produced ciders, liquors, cheeses, and chutneys that are sure to tickle your taste buds. The private bar on the plot creates an excellent ambiance for social gatherings or office parties. Even if one is not fond of cider, they can still appreciate the informative tour and enjoy the drinks afterward.
Best cider tour/tasting experience!
Stunning walk and talk around the orchards and lots of different ciders/gin/vodka to taste afterwards

Did an office social here. Tour was led by Craig, very interesting walk around the site followed by some drinks in an awesome little private bar on the plot. Not a cider drinker myself but still really enjoyed the tour and drinks after. Would recommend.

This is 5 star cider and I always make sure I get a few to bring back to the UK when I visit Guernsey! I haven't been on the tour yet as I usually visit family off-season, but wanted to give credit for such a good product.

We took a group of customers along to the Rocquettes Cider Tour and everyone had a thoroughly brilliant time. The team are so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and looked after us brilliantly. Well done for such a great, entertaining couple of hours in such a beautiful setting. The tasting and cheeses were delicious

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Craig, the tour guide was very sweet and funny. The tasting at the end was good, with different ciders, liquors and cheese with chutney all from Guernsey. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely family business, the tour was fantastic, really knowledgeable guide & plenty of cider to taste at the end!
Vazon Bay is a lovely sandy beach located on the northwestern coast of Guernsey. It's the largest public beach on the island, measuring approximately one and a half miles long. Visitors can enjoy a vast expanse of sand during low tide, clear waters that are ideal for swimmers, and a nice cafe. This popular tourist spot is easily accessible by bus and features a surf school.
A very favourite bay for watching the natural world go by, as well as the human world too. 👍

These photos are from visits at different times of the year. Vazon, and neighbouring Cobo Bay, are the best beaches in Guernsey.

My brother and Daddy went to Vazon Bay in Guernsey just for a walk today because the beach on Vazon Bay is much similar to the one in Soller Mallorca in Spain back on 29th July 2022 and it is a nice beach that it has got white sand and that's it and it just like the one in Soller Mallorca in Spain on 29th July 2022 and my brother and Daddy went to this beach today while I was fast asleep in the cabin with Mum.

Stopped there on my way home from work for a coffee. One of the longest beaches in Guernsey good for a long walk from one end and back at low water or half tide, at high water you have to walk on the path and then the promenade in good weather as on windy days the waves hit the seawall so hard the water can reach 30feet high drenching you.

Clear waters, not too busy (even though school holidays) and has a nice cafe. One of the two main tourist beaches on Guernsey. Easy to get to by bus. The water here was warmer than the other main tourist beach a Pembroke Bay so would recommend it for swimmers. There's also a surf school here. Be warned, it's very shallow with a large tide so make sure you're prepared to walk a long way to the water. If the tide is coming in, make sure your gear is right up by the sea wall or you'll find your stuff getting wet!

National Trust of Guernsey - Folk and Costume Museum
The National Trust of Guernsey Folk and Costume Museum is a delightful display of Guernsey's past, situated in the beautiful Sausmarez Park. Visitors can explore a reconstructed parlour, kitchen and schoolroom from a century ago and view toys that prepared children for adulthood. The museum also showcases intricate dolls' houses, farming equipment, and displays on famous Guernsey tomatoes. Fashion enthusiasts will enjoy the 1928 party attire exhibit.
Lovely museum with interesting items from Guernsey's history. Great insight into how people lived, showing items from the past 250 years. You can see an original, traditional and unique Guernsey Jumper among other garments and costumes.
There is parking in Saumarez Park near the Adventure playground so if using satnav aim for there. Also good to visit is the Victorian Walled Kitchen Garden

This is definitely a Must See museum for anyone interested in daily life in the early 1800s, fashions, kitchen, schoolrooms, ladies' 1750 gowns, farm implements, cider and butter-making. The gift shop was super!

Pleasant location in a large park, ideal for a walk. My favourite museum pieces were the interesting range of old agricultural equipment and wagons. Information was easy to read.

What a lovely little find during our time in Guernsey. My daughter who is 18 wanted to visit and it was really worth it. A history of the island community through items and a fabulous costume exhibition with dresses of a past era. In the middle of a lovely park and the Victorian Walled Garden next door it was a great morning out.

Great tourist venue and good place to explore the old Guernsey. Free parking, in a lovely park, great venue especially in less than perfect weather, to take the kids. Nice cafe with inside and outside seating.
Saumarez Park, the largest public park in Guernsey, should not be mistaken for Sausmarez Manor. The manor serves as a residential and nursing home, while the grounds are open to all visitors. Its features include the National Trust of Guernsey Folk & Costume Museum, a playground for children, a duck pond and a cafe. The park boasts an exquisitely crafted restored pagoda and is adorned with stunning plants, flowers and trees.
Although later in the year October. All was open and a most interesting property to visit, the different working skils of the past featured was verywell done. The display of gowns, bags, waste coats was impressive. Also a fantastic dolls house.
The cafe offerd a good selection of good food to suit most tasts at a good price .

A place to go where hearing someone shout DUCK could mean a delightful encounter with waterfowl, or a near miss of a football to your head
Used to be someone's back garden, which shows Saumarez was just mildly absurdly wealthy in his day - a real treasure to be donated for public use.
Beautifully maintained, a joy to be in, great facilities, a cafe that hasn't changed much in over a decade but in a good way (it's genuinely lovely), well kept toilets, an absolutely brilliant standard outdoor gym, a kids adventure playground that is honestly top class.
Genuinely one of my favourite parks in the world, and not just because I'm heavily biased by nostalgia and growing up here (that's just extra).
Also the North show takes place here every year and at the auction you can buy an onion bigger than your head or a cabbage the size of a child.

Great place for all the family.
Victorian walled garden a treasure & we were lucky to see in it as a group tour was happening - normally closed Sunday.
Folk and costume museum well laid out, loved that the buildings housed artefacts in scenes.
Plenty of space and activities for children.
Excellent café, served great food and drinks even though we were late for lunch.

Something for everyone here. A vast green space to be at one with nature in its most raw form. Close your eyes & all you can hear are the birds & the wind in the trees. Near the entrance there is a well proportioned children's play area to suit children of all ages, including fitness items for the teenagers. Inside the cafe/restaurant you can get some basic, but good food at reasonable prices. A cartoon TV area for the little ones & a blackboard room for writing & creations on the walls. Couple this with special events & you have it all. You must visit.

19.08.2022.I had a great time today at the park.The folk museum is currently free of charge and is great for children as well as adults.Read and learn about country life and it's history.I would like to think there is something for everyone.I spent several hours in the park and was time well spent.The park itself has a pond and the park has many trees and flowers,some I have never seen before.There is an art gallery displaying photos taken during the Covid 19 pandemic and some are very sad.The old man looking out of his window and being photographed by a member of his family is quite haunting,but they all are really.The photo of the boy who lost his grandmother.You will enjoy your visit here.

A lovely park ideal for all ages and lot's of nice play apparatus for children in a safe area. Plus adult apparatus for exercising in a separate area. Great place for picnics and a very well stocked café and reasonably priced.

Would have been much better on a nice sunny day. Grounds are great for kids, take a ball. Nice food in the tea room but it was uncomfortably hot. Museum is interesting with exhibits well presented. More signage at the entrance and inside would help non islanders.

I live in Guernsey and it's always lovely to take a stroll round this park. The restored pagoda is absolutely stunning with such beautiful workmanship. I took my macaw, Mika there last week and we love meeting people. There's a cafe and a large kids play area too.
