Herm Island, Guernsey
I've been visiting Herm Island for 30 years. Fishing, walking, scouring the beaches for shells, Rocquettes cider in The Mermaid, camping, seeing Dolphins from the Travel Trident - this is memories for life stuff! Anytime I need a break from the toil of London, a short hop from Southampton gives me the chance to recharge the batteries - at any time of the year. The staff on the Island are the best and each cottage is spotless when you arrive. If you have never been - you're missing one of life's best secret places!
