The Channel Islands
are owned by Great Britain and lie in the English Channel at the entrance
to the French Golfe de St-Malo. There are four main islands namely Jersey,
Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark. The two main towns are St. Peter Port on
Guernsey, and St. Helier on Jersey. The islands are a major tourist spot
in the summer months with a delightful French flavour. Two well-known
breeds of dairy cattle called Jersey and Guernsey were first raised on
these charming Channel Islands.
