The Bailiwick of Guernsey is a British Crown dependency located in the English Channel, near the coast of France. It consists of the island of Guernsey and several smaller islands, including Alderney, Sark, and Herm. The Bailiwick has its own government and legal system, but the British monarch is the head of state. Guernsey is known for its stunning coastal scenery, rich history, and unique culture. The island has a mild climate and is popular for outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling. Its economy is primarily based on finance, tourism, and agriculture, particularly the famous Guernsey cow dairy products.
