Alderney

The island's first nature reserve, Longis, is rich in local wildlife and guided walks offer the best chance of learning about the flora and fauna.

Evidence of Neolithic man living on this island several thousands of years ago is all around. Roc á l'Epine, a burial chamber dating from 4,000 BC, can be found at Fort Tourgis while 200 Bronze Age artefacts were unearthed on Longis Common in 1832. The area is described as the ‘Old Town’ but is buried under shifting sands.
