Just off the coast of Normandy, discover several beautiful islands that attract closer to home travellers, offering exquisite coastlines, milder winters and non-fly holiday opportunities for those who prefer to avoid air travel. The islands are proudly independent, not quite Britain nor France, and serve as self-governing British Crown dependencies that forge a bridge between the two.

There is so much to see and do in the Channel Islands. The warm Gulf of St Malo ensures that subtropical plants and an incredible array of birdlife are present in the area, with hikers and outdoorsy types flocking to the islands in search of surfing, kayaking, coasteering and diving experiences. Numerous forts and castles can also be found on several of the islands, scattered along the coast, as well as fascinating museums that provide insight into islander fortitude during WW1, with old war tunnels and bunkers available for exploration.

Plenty of accessible properties are available for your exciting wheelchair-friendly holidays or short breaks on the English Channel, as well as many activities that have been tailored to those with limited mobility. Whatever you are looking to see and do during your time in the area, Enable Holidays can help, with a variety of travelling options that include ferry, rail or self-drive.
