Alderney, is the third largest of the Channel Islands and is 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.

Despite its closeness to mainland France (8 miles), Guernsey (23 miles), Jersey (30 miles) and the Isle of Wight (60 miles), Alderney has managed to avoid mainstream tourism. Remote, yet well-connected with direct scheduled air links from the UK, Alderney has its own airport and harbour.

Visit Alderney and you will discover an oasis with an ancient and varied history, an abundance of flora and fauna, beautiful beaches, an enviable lifestyle with that unique, contagious phenomenon known as ‘the Alderney Feeling’.

Alderney has recently relaxed its rules on getting married there, and now you only have to be resident for 3 days before you can “tie the knot”. For further information on weddings in Alderney please go to www.visitalderney.com.
